The Fillmore Band was a professional ensemble founded in 1927, comprising musicians from the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and other fine instrumentalists in Cincinnati. In 1930, they were the featured ensemble at the Cincinnati Automobile Show. Henry Fillmore wrote a new march to be performed at this event, which he titled "The Klaxon" or "March of the Automobiles." The dedication on the score reads: “To The Producers of the Klaxon Automobile Horns”. Automobile manufacturers sent copies of the sheet music to their dealers nationwide in an effort to stimulate the economy. Fillmore invented a new musical instrument for use at the show, and it apparently generated considerable excitement. I was called a klaxophone, and it was made up of automobile horns, or klaxons, mounted on a table and powered with an automobile battery. These new automobile horns were replacing the old “aaaOOOOOgah ”type horn. While the new musical instrument did not survive, the march was terrific, and it is still a very popular part of the traditional march repertoire.
