My main flute teacher was for many years the (last) principal flutist for the Goldman Band, a famous concert band founded in 1918 that premiered such important works as Percy Grainger's Lincolnshire Posy and Darius Milhaud's Suite francaise.
In 2005, negotiations broke down after the board sought to reduce the number of players and significantly cut compensation. [Ed.: While I see on Wikipedia that management claimed they would not reduce the number of tenured players, they did intend to eliminate a guaranteed season and compensation and remove all players from the board, essentially turning everyone into freelancers.] The players eventually came up with counteroffers, but rather than continue negotiations, the board simply decided to cease operations, and the band was no more.
