Last evening the combined Great Western
bands of Minneapolis and st. Paul gave their
inaugural concert at the Academy of Music,
and the attendance was very encouraging. The
bands rendered some fine selections in very
proficient manner and elected much warm ap-
plause. The overture by the combined bands
was a grand performance. The Apollo club,
Mr.. Fred. Will aud Mr.. d, Blakely, added vocal
and instrumental numbers that added to the
pleasure of the concert. Mr. Seibert has been
at great personal expense in procuring new in
struments and uniforms for the company, and
il will be some time before the money expended
will be returned. Although the attendance
last evening was very good, the hall should
have been packed from pit to dome. The band
under its present management and directorsh1p
has attained a degree of proficiency that would
be a credit to much older and more pretentious
musical organizations, and it is hoped another
concert may be given at an early date, so that
those who were not present last evening may
have an opportunity of listening to the delight
full music of the Great Western bands.
