Establishment
The Redskins Marching Band was born. In the team's words, "For the rest of the season these musical milkmen played to their hearts' content — and to the fans' delight." The entertainment experiment was a success and team owner George Preston Marshall embraced the marchers as "The Redskins Band." Twenty thousand dollars were invested in elaborate band uniforms, including gaudy Indian headdresses in lieu of more typical band headgear.
