The Punchard's Girls Band, founded by music teacher Miriam Sweeney McArdle in 1940, was the only all girl's band in Massachusetts. The band continued as the Andover High School All Girls Band known for "its drilling precision and musical ability". The band members wore sky-blue West Point style uniforms with whie braid and gold buttons with West Point shakos with white plumes. An all boys band was started in the 1960s. The two bands merged in 1972.
