A new band has made its appearance
in the city. that Of the Naval Battalion
raci. This will be known as the official
music of the Naval Reserves of the Dis
trict. BY a strange coincident. this band
has been organized bp an italian. Just
as the United States Marine Band was
a century ago. Mr.. Suraci, an excellent
musician, has gathered eighteen picked
instrumentalists, who have already quite
a repertoire on hand for any occasion.
The first public appearance Of this or
ganization will be at the Memorial Day
exercises at Mount olivet Cemetery. The
Inspiration of this band is purely for the
love of music, which makes 1t unique as
an organization. The Naval Battalion
Band will have a place among the park
during the summer. and will
be heard in other District affairs.
