Under The Baton

Under the Baton: Music at Old Cedar Point is a 26-minute documentary that explores the growth of the middle-class, the increase in leisure time and leisure time activities ? which included concert band music ? and how all of that shaped and affected Cedar Point. More broadly, the video addresses the growth of amusement parks; how they served a new middle class, why traditional American band music was the music of choice for these parks, as well as the history of Cedar Point bands and bandleaders.
