Did you know? It makes you wonder how many teeth got knocked out in this group . . . The Crescendo Bicycle Band, a unique brass band formed in 1922 at Opende, Holland, entertained that country for much of the 20th Century. The valve trombones, trumpets and cornets would play with one hand while steering their bicycles with the other. The other horns and mellophones rested their bells on a special bracket to free up one hand. The snare drums were fastened to a bracket over the front wheel, between the two handlebar expansions so that the drummers could play while sheering with their wrists. The band even supplied its own judging bicycle with pencil and pad mounted on the handlebars. (By Brian Tolzmann, DCW staff)
