BAND CONCERT IS
MUSICAL treat
Largely Attended and Elk
cellent Program Given
Shows Improvement.

The people of Boise want a city band.
This was made evident last night at the
first annual band fund concert given
by the Boise Municipal band at
the Pinney theater when, despite the
disagreeable weather, nearly every seat
in the house was occupied. The concert
was a success both financially and mu
sically and assures for the city many
enjoyable evenings of music during the
coming summer. The band showed |
wonderful Improvement under the lead
ership of Director Carl Mollerup since
its last fall concert, the most noticeable |
feature being tine prompt response OF
every member of the organization to
the baton If there were any breaks by
any player they were completely over
Swallowed by the general good work of
the band as a whole.
Tho program arranged by Director
Mollerup was an especially pleasing
one. Miss Gladys Marie Evans was the
soloist of the evening and was given
warm greeting by the audience. Her
first number was Cho Cho Sans song,
zone Fine Day." from Puccini's opera,
Madame Butterfly" which was sung
with splendid feeling, the recitative,
especially on the high tones, being par
ticularly we'll done. Miss Evans Sc
cond suite included "Sylvelin," by
| Sindig and Moir's when Celia Sings"
and to both suites she responded with
encores. She was accompanied at the
l piano by Miss Margaret Drks.
The evening" program was opened
with the well known Morning. Noon
70
1 cond number, a Nevin suite. in excel
e lent contrast. The heavy Grand Sc
G lection" from Giuseppe Verdis opera
III Trovatore," was masterfully di-
e rected and the solos of the individual
S instruments were played very well. The
e number following was Mr. Mollerup's
cornet solo, Memories of Switzerland
d by Theodore Hoch, with piano accom-
S paniment by Richard p. Erwin. Mr..
s Mollerup surprised his hearers with his
It work on the cornet and his interpreted
ton presented wildly the character of
a the selection.
g Grand Descriptive Fantasy.
The number of the program which
caught the popular fancy, however
was the grand descriptive fantasy
9 winter" by j. B. Lampe. The music
e represents a sleighride party going to a
country dance, the snowstorm, the ar
rival at the dance and the Virginia
I. reel. The party then starts for home
= the sleigh IS smashed to pieces and the
IL members of the party have to walk the
l" rest of the way. Claude Crawford
a gave the calls illustrating the story and
/ interpretative features were furnished
lie by the singing of the players, the use
ee of sleighbells and the drummer's traps
f. This kind of a number is only a sue
ID cess when we'll played and it can b.
l. said that as done by the band members
es last night, it was an Overwhelming
l. triumph. The evening closed with To
W bani's Grand American Fantasia on,
