Band Concert was Excellent.

The Willmar Juvenile Band concert
given at the opera house. last Thurs
day evening was a very successful af-
fair, a most excellent program being
rendered and fair-sized and appre-
ciatiye audience being in attendance:
The receipts were not quite as large
as had been hoped for, however, the
gross amount being $55. The sum left
after defraying all expenses will be
used in securing new music and buy:

tion z..:; ...u 5z

showed by their playing that they had
made good progress under the instruc-

and our citizens are proud of their
musical abilities. With the hearty
and generous support which the Or
ganization deserves, it is hoped that
in time the band will be among the
leading ones in the state. : >
