Black History Month Facebook Posts - Composers and Titles

This page represents the composers and titles that were highlighted in graphical form on our Facebook page starting in 2021 (archived here).  Not all composers are highlighted each year which is why some composers have more titles than others listed.  This is due to the number of composers to highlight as wells as number of band pieces in their catalog.
