The article above shows
Frank A. Campuzano was a man of many talents. He played guitar with the Los Angeles Mandolin and Guitar Club, at least in 1887. Another article shows he performed with Club Filarmonico Mexicano in Los Angeles and helped organize events celebrating Mexican Independence Day and Cinco de Mayo with Junta Patriotica de Los Angeles.

He must have been well respected and talented as a musician and band leader. In 1896, Frank was the President of Club Filarmonico Mexicano and led the band that performed at the music hall. He served as business manager of the Club in 1897.

Frank often performed at events with the Order of Foresters in Los Angeles. This was a benevolent and fraternal organization. Antonio Orfila Jr. was active in this group. The Foresters helped provide insurance, sick benefits and funeral benefits for members. Frank was a delegate to the Grand Court of California Foresters meeting in San Francisco in May 1896. Antonio Orfila Jr. was "Grand Chief Ranger" of the group at the time. The Foresters remind me of another organization in which a Campuzano ancestor was involved -
Liga Protectora Latina. Frank served as Treasurer of Forester's Chapter Court Olive, No. 39 in 1895 and 1896.
