Lusiciana' Convention

The first annual musicians convention
was held last week Wednesday Thursday
and Friday and the expectations of al
were more than realized in every respect
except numbers. However, enough were
present to make good band, as between
forty and fifty were present and the
parts were well balanced. Each member
OF the band was well pleased with the
leader, Jean Missud, who, although very
| quiet and transformations in manner, OBJ
tanned excellent results. In all there were
seven rehearsals. Thursday evening
there was a large attendance at the
promenade and dance and the evening
was much enjoyed. Friday evening the
grand concert was given before large
audience. Every selection was we'll re-
ceived and many OF them elected an
encore.
1t is expected and hoped that this con.
vention will be an annual affair. Finan-
cially and otherwise it was oigreat bene-
fit to the local band.
