During the next two decades, the Henry Brosch Orchestra played venues in Shiner, Moulton, Anhalt, Sealy, Frydek, East Bernard, and New Ulm --- towns in the swath of south Texas between San Antonio and Houston with a prominent German and Czech immigrant population. In the early years members of the band included: Jim Holub, drums; Joe Holub, tuba; Anton Tupa, saxophone/clarinet; Jim Pavlicek, saxophone/clarinet; Frank Vana, trombone.

The Henry Brosch Orchestra recorded at least a dozen singles for Sarg Records of Luling, TX. Their final performance was New Year’s Eve 1971, after a 42 year run. Soon afterward, Henry joined Joe Patek’s Orchestra, where he remained until his death on March 25, 1982.
