Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1912-06-13
POINT, THURSDAY JUNE 10 1912
Band of Meri,ed Popularity.

Those who care to look through tbs
Tribune files for the past sixty-tivt
years land they are welcome TO the
privilege) will learn that Mineral Point
has had pretty much at all times a
band Of more than ordinary merit, the
best in southwestern Wisconsin. One
reason for this is that the stability of
our town has always been such as to
hold and encourage competent leaders,
not imported leaders either. Another
reason and one of which local pride
has been strong, is the fact that with
each generation native talent of ex-
ceptional quality has come to the front
as maintaining strength. The leaders
and players of more than local renown
who have passed from our midst for
ever are many, but memory of them is
tenderly cherished.
Of the band at present representing
Mineral Point every citizen can and
does feel proud. 1t is composed prin-
cipally of young talent of one, two and
three years drilling by the capable in
structor, Prof. j. w. Anderson, who
revels in classical music, thus making
his task the more difficult, but the per-
severance of all hands is praiseworthy.
They can and do render first-class Sc
lections. Boisterous. rattle bang"
pieces are not on their list.
The Mineral Point Band as now or
gained consists of the following mem
bers Cornet players-J. w. Anderson.
Jos. Bray, Cyrus White, Phil. Paynter,
Leroy Sieger, James Doyle, Geo. Stude,
Quintis Brown, Harry Frieden and
Elmer Goeltz; Clarinets Leslie Har-
ker, Harold Cummings, Curtis Foster,
Charles Sieger; Piccalo, John u. Oates;
Altos, Henry Bray and Frank Wagner;
Alto Saxophone, Andrew Whitford and
j. Nauman Tenors, Edward Curnow
and Charles Hoare; Slide Trombone,
Best Schultz; Baritone, Ray Mess
L Flat Bass, H. W. Frieden; b B Flat
Bass, James Knight; Bass Drum, Ben
Blewett; Snare Drum, Theo. Hartley.
These members deserve all praise
