When Disneyland opened in 1955, there was lots of entertainment. One group stayed with the park and is still there every day: the Disneyland Band.
The band was originally hired for a two-week run, but has stayed.
The band has a repertoire of more than 400 musical numbers and has marched more than 3,500 miles marching around the park, according to the Disney Parks blog.
Members of the band will many times play in smaller groups, depending on the season and needs of the park. The two current smaller groups are the Hook & Ladder Co., which plays on Main Street U.S.A., and the Royal Street Bachelors in New Orleans Square.
The band also performs in annual music education concerts for almost 40,000 second graders from local schools between January and March and has staged the concerts for more than 1 million students since they began 27 years ago.
The concerts are based on California education standards and staged in a partnership with the Philharmonic Society of Orange County and the Friends of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.
