HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA
GIVES CONCERT THURSDAY
Unusual Civic Interest Attaches to First Public Appearance
in Connection With Night School Session and Opening
Of Art Gallery-Sxty eight Members in Organization.

Ralph Sloane, supervisor of music
in the Richmond public schools, an
nounces that the high school orches-
ira will make its first public appear
ance next Thursday evening when it
will give a concert in the auditorium
of the building between 5 and 9
o'clock.
The concert is arranged at this time
because of the reception to be given
the parents of the students that even
ing, and the fact that the night school
will be in session and the art gallery
will also be open, makes the whole af-
fair one of unusual civic interest.
"The orchestra has sixty-eight mem

said Mr.. Sloane, land is much better
balanced than it has been recently,
the reeds, the strings and the brasses
all being heard in harmonious ensem-
BILE without the domination of any one
class of instrument. This is the judg-
ment of local musicians, who are not
connected with the public schools,
after hearing the orchestra rehearse,
and l think will be demonstrated at
the concert Thursday evening.
Study Beethoven.
"The serious study of the orchestra
this year will be concentrated on one
of the Beethoven symphonies, al
though l have not come to a definite
conclusion in selection. It's programs
will be varied with tone pieces and
orchestral overtures, as 1 believe in
variety, for more than one reason,
since it not only gives the pupils a
certain musical fluency but makes
their programs for the public of more
general interest since many persons
are not musically educated and do
