Arion Band Arion Band The Arion Band is one of the oldest community bands in the United States, based in Frostburg, Maryland, stablished in 1877. Its current director is Dr. Ronald Horner, professor of percussion at Frostburg State University, and its current president is Blair Knouse. The band rehearses at the historic Arion Band Hall (built in 1895) on Uhl Street in Frostburg and typically gives 5-10 performances in the Frostburg and Cumberland area during the summer. The band's namesake, the legendary Corinthian musician Arion, was the "Jolly Mon" of ancient Greece; he was rescued by dolphins after pirates threw him overboard.
