Eagle Band.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
! The Times Union Band organic last
spring. and which became so well known
| and so popular on account Of its ex-
cellent music during the summer follow
/ ing, has decided to change its name. II
! will be from now on the Wichita Daily
Eagle Band" and will continue under
the leadership of ]. y. Hobbs, and man
! agement of Jesse A. Simon.
! The members Of the Eagle Band" all
| deeply appreciate the many kindnesses
/ shown them by lines and Co. in the
] past when 1t was the lines band, and the
change of name is made through no NJ
feeling on the part of either but with
the consent and good will of both. 1t
being considered best for the interest of
Wichita. unsteady considered that the
change be made.
The lines Union Band. from its incep-
tion has steadily kept increasing its
membership, with the purpose OF acquir-
ing sufficient Instrumentation to handle
good music properly
The public will understand that reduc-
ing the Instrumentation of a band i G."
taking out instruments thus making
small band. reduces its possibilities just
as removing keys from a plano woiil
reduce the possibilities OF that instru-
ment; while increasing the number and
variety of instruments, Il. e." the in
strumentation) increases its possibilities.
just as the many octaves of pipe or
gan, from the lowest bass 10 the highest
treble, and its many stops. allowing var
ious quality of tone. increases it's pos
sibilities over those Of the piano
Thus it is easily seen that there IS 20
such thing In existence as a good band
with a small Instrumentation.
