Published accounts

The Zelia Breaux profile draws on Hannah D. Atkins’s biographical entry for the Oklahoma Historical Society. The alumni-ensemble story draws on the Oklahoma City Symphonic Band’s published history. Neither is presented as a recorded interview. The longer-season story also draws on Tulsa World, March 24, 1963, p. 11, “Oil Capital Band Schedules Annual Concert Tonight,” for its Tulsa comparison.

Research

Joshua Eric Long’s 2018 dissertation and the 2024 scoping review by José Cidade, João Caramelo, and Alexandra Sá Costa are joined by Andrew Goodrich’s 2019 community-band case study. Summaries identify study design, participants and limitations.
