Film shows St. Olaf Band performing a century ago

A film that briefly shows the St. Olaf Band performing in a Norway Day parade at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in Seattle in 1909 is now available online.

The St. Olaf Band appears in the film just shortly after the five-minute mark. The film, which was re-edited in 1975, predates any other film in the St. Olaf archives by 16 years, notes Associate Archivist Jeff Sauve.

The Seattle Municipal Archives provided the film, which was put online as part of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Centennial Celebration.
