FUNDS PROVIDED
FOR public CONCERTS

The first public band concert will be
given IN kirkwood Park next Monday
evening at s o'clock. and ON Memorial
Day concert will be- held al Washing
ton Heights. Final arrangements for
the concerts viii be made this week, II
has been announced hy j. y. Robinson,
conductor of the First Infantry Band.
The movable band stand for the con-
certs Is about completed. The stand is
ON wheels, and the sides fold. Il also
carries it- own lights.
During the season. concerts win be
given alternately at Kirkwood Park.

Lowing statement:
81 have things pretty well mapped
out and We will give series of con
certs which we think the poorer peo-
pie Of the city will appreciate. II Is
for them that the concerts have been
arranged. The band will have twen-
~ pieces and the programs will run
from operate to the popular music.
] do not think We will play ON Sun
day nights as previously announced,
as on consideration. Il appears that
this would conflict with church ser
vices IN the city. and We do not wish
10 do that. so our Sunday program
will be a sacred and classical music
concert beginning at $3.50 I'm the af-
ternoon, which will not interfere in
any way with church and Sunday
school programs. My idea Is 10 plan
the concert programs two weeks
ahead and TO play the same concert
at each park until the round has
been gone. We will make out a reg
ular schedule which will appear in
the Wilmington papers so that the
public may know what TO look for
No other programs will be printed
When the weather makes II impossi-
bic 10 hold a certain concert IA,
concert will not be held in that park
on the following night. but the regu-
lar schedule will be adhered TO. 50
that a concert postponed will mean
one less for that park.
"All concerts will have America
as the opening number and will clos,
with the Star Spangled Banner Il
is the desire ef the band that all at
I tending the concerts will stand while
these numbers are played. AS soor
as Il is practicable I will make the
/ announcement OF the program fol
next Monday night and for Memorial
Day. and then the regular seasor
will follow until Labor Day"
