The Oriental Band.
There has been considerable said
recently about the, oriental band,
which is connected with the patrol.
This organization, the only one OF
the kind in the United States, will be
another feature of the ceremonial.
The members have been practicing
faithfully for some time. and as the
band is made up Of skilled musicians,
they will make very attractive
showing. The music has an entirely
oriental tinge, and while the musi-
cal taste OF some of those OF the gen.
eral public is given to rag time and
they may not grasp the efforts of the
members of the oriental band, the as.
isurance is given that all those who
have an ear for the classical and car
appreciate something above the or.
binary. The band is composed Of the
following members:
F. F. Turner, ID. Wv. Howard. r. ID
Gressley. w. B, Woodruff. +. G. Al
