The community was basically left without a musical performance unit from the time that the Big Four Band folded until the high school band was formed in the 1950's.

Beech Grove relied on the railroad band to play at celebrations since as both a town and a city, never had an organized community band. The Big Four Association Band played throughout Indiana at various parades and events.
