CHANCE FOR
CALDWELL BAND

1t is proposed to hold during the
Idaho Intermountain fair, a series OF
band contests to be participated in by
the principal bands of southern Idaho
and eastern Oregon" said Professor C
o. Breach in an interview yesterday
Mr. Breach has been appointed super
intendent of these band contests and Is
already in touch with several of the
bands and their leaders, all of whom
are very enthusiastic about the con-
tests. A sufficient number have signi-
fled their intention of taking part in
the contest to make this, not only one
of the features of the coming fair, but
for other years.
Contests of this kind" Professor
Breach continued, ARE a great slim
illus to these young and progressive
bands and many organizations that
start in obscurity often rise to be
bands of great credit to their town and
state through the well-chosen rules
and regulations in effect in these con-
tests. The reward is possibly only
through the careful and musical play
ing of the contestant. 1t is human ma
ture to be careless, but in a contest
of this kind, where every sign of care
lessness gives a point to the other
fellow, the rehearsing and perform
ance of any set number of pieces
means a careful study by each and
every member of the organization TAX
ing part.
Boise Bands Barred.
"To place each band on the same
footing, it has been ruled that no Boise
band shall be contestant and no mu-
sicians other than bona fide members
of the band contesting shall be al
lowed to play.
ut is hoped that this feature of the
fair will appeal to the public for at
no previous year has a more worthy
object been set forth. The index of the
character of community is reflected
in the music they demand and aiding
any band to come to Boise and par
ticipate in these contests will surely
be sowing the seed that will reap a
harvest in an intelligent rendition of
the best music.
"The prizes offered are valuable,
and if not for the exalted reason of
love for the art, the commercialism,
the striving after gain, ought to be
an incentive to bring out large num-
Der of contestants. Boise Statesman.
