Boost The Band

Among the various organizations
in town. a band deserves credit
for being one Of the best boosters
for that community-provided, of
course, that it is a good band
About four months ago band
was organized in Washburn. Its
start was hampered by the fact
that. since it depended for'its sup.
port upon donations. the business
men did not feel that they could
pledge themselves without being
assured that it would ''hang to-
gether." for it is a notable fact
that most bands are subject to
sudden relapses. Since that time,
the membership has almost donbl-
ed, leader has been paid, two first
class bass instruments bought--all
accomplished without a direct do
nation--and the business men are
as enthusiastic as the band boys.
Mr.. Racicot informs rs that in his
career in teaching bands in North
Dakota, none has shown up more
favorably than the Washburn
band. We know what it is ct
present we have Mr.. Racicot's
word for what it will be. With
the advent of warm weather y
bands period Of usefulness really
begins. The boys have already
had four months Of strenuous
practice and BY spring should
render music Of which any city or.
town in the state might feel proud.
"A band concert will be given on
the evening Of Feb. 9th, for tho
purpose Of raising funds. Let
every citizen appoint himself =
committee Of one to buy at least
one ticket and boost the concert.
If you can't boost, don't make
yourself D bump in the road q
progress Whether your tasts
runs TO . classical selection, :
march or jig, this band will Ticks
that particular spot in your
anatomy. Boost the band and fur
tl,er your own interests.
