lar as did that of the Sousa Great
Lakes Naval Station Training Band,
which carried Baltimore by storm
recently.
Every member of the band is de-
scribed as a soloist, which of course
means that he is thoroughly train
ed musician. Already the Eastern
Shore has welcomed with the great
est interest the Kilties, which have
appeared at Centreville, Chester
town, Salisbury and Easton.

cago exclusively for the Eastern
Shore tour. There will be no admis-
