| The All-Ohio State Fair Band was founded in 1925 and was known as the All-Ohio Boys’ State Fair Band. It was then, as is now, comprised of superior musicians from throughout the State of Ohio. The members of the 2008 AOSFB reported to The Rhodes Center on July 26 to begin several intense days of rehearsal. The talented musicians completed a rigorous pre-fair schedule where they learned close to 60 pieces. Throughout the 2008 Ohio State Fair the Band will performed 80 concerts and continued a long standing tradition of entertaining Ohio's citizens. The founder and first director was Jack Wainwright (1925-1931) of Fostoria. He has been followed by four other directors: Louis E. Pete (1932-1966), Jack O. Evans (1967-1969), Omar P. Blackman (1970-1998) and Donald F. Santa-Emma, who has been director since 1999. Each year there are various new experiences for the Band as well as the continuation of numerous AOSFB traditions. One exciting addition this year was that the Band toured and perfored at The State of Ohio Capitol Building on Tuesday, July 29th.
