This article, which addresses the development of Canadian and US school ensembles from the early twentieth century to the present, identifies patterns of historical growth and speculates about larger successes and failures. In both countries, early school ensembles were regarded as a necessary part of an expanding secondary curriculum, emerging as they did in the midst of a reformist ethos positively disposed toward music. US and Canadian ensemble culture produced strong local leaders and administrators, who saw value in school ensembles in the education of children, and who worked with persistence and evangelical fervor to establish them in schools.
