Madison Outlook: The Aberdeen
State band gave a surprisingly good
program at the opera house on Thurs
day evening. Thorough drill and
general proficiency is evident, and the
leader, j.. Cason, is certainly an &C
complished musician. Mrs. Searle,
the vocal s%oloist, is possessed of a
rare voice, and received generous ap-
prevail from the audience. Little
Miss Cason, and Master Geiser eyinced
great talent for children of their age
and certainly show great promise for
future work. Upon the whole the or
ganization is one of which Aber-
deem and the whole state should be
proud.
Madison Sentinel: The concert Civ
en- in the opera house last evening by
the South Dakota State Band OF Aber-
deem, was greeted with a good house,
and the program was thoughly enjoy
ed throughout. This organization of
some thirty members under the direc-
tion of Professor j.. j. Cason, has at
tanned a high standard of proficiency
and play high grade music with fine
effect. Among the numbers rendered
were overture to William Tell,
The Bohemian Girl, Lohengrin, Nor
ma and other classic productions. The
trombone and baritone solos by the
Juveniles, Master Harold Gieser and
little Gladys Cason were very pleasing
as were the soprano solos by Mrs.
Searle. Such a musical organization
is credit to any city and a big ad-
vertlsement as we'll.
