 | Makeever's Jazz Band - Merle and Donald Makeever
Makeever's Jazz Band - 1918
Makeever's Jazz Band was organized in the fall of 1917 by brothers Merle E. "Midge" and Harry D. Makeever, both members of the Davenport High School class of 1919. The band was known as "Harry Mac's Jazz Band" in high school circles.
They were so popular that they practically played all the high-school parties during the 1917-1918 school year, including the Junior Red Cross dances.
To celebrate George Washington's birthday, Merle and Harry hosted a "Washington Hop" on February 22, 1918, at the Pythian Castle hall. It was attended by 80 high school couples. The Makeever Jazz band furnished the dance program, which was the second of three in a series of dances the boys had planned, with the final one scheduled for the latter part of March. All proved most successful.
On the following night, Saturday, February 23rd, the Harry Mac Jazz band played a very delightful program of dance music at the Hotel Blackhawk. The Washington's Birthday Dance was given by the social committee of the war camp service board for arsenal soldiers.
A Red Cross lawn fete and dance was held Friday, June 14, 1918, at the Outing Club. Makeever's Jazz band was secured to provide the music.
