Bow Wow Wow is an English new wave band that was formed in 1980.  The band was conceived and managed by Malcolm McLaren following the breakup of The Sex Pistols.  The band is known for combining the new wave sound of the 1980s with world music, particularly African-style drumming.

In 1980 they released the first ever cassette-single titled "C·30 C·60 C·90 Go!"  Their label, EMI, refused to promote the single because they believed it promoted home-taping, as the B-side of the cassette was left blank.  The band may be best known for their rendition of the Strangelove's song from 1965, "I Want Candy".

The band initially disbanded in 1983, but reformed again in 1997 and have been active periodically since then.

Waupin is a school located in Wisconsin. In 1928, Waupin's school superintendent, Henry C. Wegner, was the secretary of the Wisconsin School Band Association and actively promoted Waupin in school band competitions. With Wisconsin leading the nation in school band growth, the years 1915 through 1935 were a time associated with the rise in school bands. The Wisconsin Boys Band Association, later called the Wisconsin School Music Association, promoted band competitions in the 1920's. Competitions evolved quickly with prizes awarded in gold and silver cups. The high school band movement required musical selections, sponsored girls competing in band (as early as 1922), and developed a classification system where experienced and novice bands competed separately.

The phrase, “Music Maintains Morale,” emerged in 1918 as a slogan for piano manufacturers and musicians to show their enthusiasm for war bonds. At this time, these manufacturers sold war bonds in their stores to show their support. The slogan was used in the New York Library Loan Concert at Carnegie Hall in 1918 as a demonstrative of the practical power of music, which went on to raise $4,302,000. The phrase referred to the idea that music roused latent patriotism and revived the spirits of listeners. Ads displayed the slogan to encourage Americans to buy liberty bonds as well pianos during WWI.

The slogan reemerged during 1942 when the theme was used to inspire morale among the American public during Music Week. Schools and churches had special programs to recognize the service that music rendered to listeners. Music shops and piano manufacturers once again featured the slogan in their ads during this time.
