Denver Spence joined the music industry in 1968 after having been involved with his school marching bands and school band programs since he was in elementary school.  He worked as a school road rep for Jenkins Music in Kansas City for two years before opening his own retail store in Ada, Oklahoma. Spence Music Company focused on school music as did a side business he created, Ban-Kor, which produced school band uniforms and accessories.  After closing the store in 1982, Denver worked for several manufacturers including Leblanc, as a sales rep, and CG Conn and UMI as a District Manager.  After running his own rep firm for a decade, Denver was hired by Gemeinhardt as a consultant for two years before his retirement in 2007.
