The first OAC Band Concert broadcast over station KFDJ, 1923. On January 25th, 1923, the cadet band, under the direction of Captain Harry L. Beard, broadcast a concert including opera, fantasy, popular music, and jazz. The 60-piece band was cramped in room 212 in Apperson Hall, which served as the station studio. No acoustic treatment had been applied to the walls and the microphone (being held on the right) was the type designed for telephone use.
