Stannard's entire career was spent as an Army musician, from his first enlistment with the Tenth Band of the Coast Artillery Corps in 1901, through his years on scholarship at the Army Music Training School, the Institute of Musical Arts in New York City, and appointment as Leader of the newly formed Army Band in 1923, to his retirement in 1935. He was a member of the Army Officers Reserve Corps until July 11, 1942. He died July 12, 1950 in Washington, D.C., survived by his wife Mary Frances Hook Stannard and son William H. Stannard.
Under Stannard's leadership, the Army Band played at the funerals of Presidents Harding and Taft, led the inaugural parades of Presidents Coolidge, Hoover, and Roosevelt, and was the first band to be broadcast over a coast-to-coast network of radio stations while playing at a reception given by President Coolidge for Charles Lindbergh. Stannard conducted the Army Band as the official band of the 1926 Philadelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition commemorating the founding of the United States, and in 1929 represented the Pan-American Union at two expositions in Spain, introducing Latin American music to the United States and Europe.

Frederick William Tilton (ca. 1821-June 6, 1890) was a successful New Orleans businessman and philanthropist. He was born and educated in New Hampshire, son of Timothy Tilton and Clarissa Wheeler. He moved to New Orleans, La., in 1838, married Caroline Stannard, and amassed a fortune in the import business. He supported the Confederacy financially from within New Orleans, and then from Europe. Although most of his property was seized, he rebuilt in the postwar years. He and Caroline had no children. They were patrons of the arts and culture in New Orleans. Prior to his death, he expressed an interest in supporting Tulane University; his wife donated $50,000 for construction of F. W. Tilton Library, known in 2010 as the Howard-Tilton Memorial Library.
