and Frank M. Sutphen, well known
trombonist of Columbus, was secured
as director Of the 100 musicians, who
are contributing their time and talent
to making success Of the Centenary
Trombone Choir.
A greater problem lay in what to
play, for no music had ever been
written for a trombone choir of 100
players. 1t had to be specially pre-
pared. Nationally known composers
are now at work arranging such sa-
cred and semi-sacred selections as
the Soldiers Chorus" from Faust,
Holy City" "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Onward Christian Soldiers" for the
huge choir.
The Centenary Choir is composed
of IL soprano trombones, IS altos, 40
tenors, Is baritones and II bass from
bones. These 100 instruments are
arranged to form six separate choirs,
each a musical unit in itself. At the
extreme right of each bank, or choir,
come two soprano trombones no
larger than comets. These instru-
ments are made to order. Next come
three altos, then two first tenors, and

ONE hundred trombones, modified
" for the Methodist Centenary
Celebration in Columbus, Ohio, June
20 to July Z, will pour forth the har-
mony of "Hallelujah Chorus" and
Holy City, in the huge Coliseum
where the musical features of the
celebration will be held.
One hundred trombones-some so
large and some so small that they
must be made to order-will blend
their music in the largest, and, so
far as is known, the only choir of it's
kind in the world.
Being absolutely new and unique,
the trombone choir has presented any
number of difficulties to it's organ
izers, the Centenary Celebration COM
mittee. In the first place, they must
find 100 trombone players within rea-
sonable distance of Columbus. They
solved this problem by mobilizing all
the professional players, and complet-
ing the organization with talented
amateurs. Anthony Ruppersburg was
made business manager of the choir,

two second tenors. In the center OF
each row are the third and fourth
tenors. Next come the first, second
and third baritones, each with part
of it's own, then the big B fiat bass
trombone, and, on the end of each
choir, the F bass, majestic affair,
which also had to be made to order
for the Centenary Choir.
Most people have the mistaken
idea that the trombone is blaring,
blasting instrument, used solely for
the purpose of making noise" says
Mr.. Sutphen, the director. "On the
contrary, it is one of the truest Of
musical instruments. Having neither
valves nor frets, it can be tuned per-
fectly as it is played, and its tones
can be softened to the mellow notes
Of the violin.
$50 adaptable Is the trombone, so
wonderful is it's power Of expression,
that it can take the place of flute,
cello, cornet or violin, in an orches-
ira. And the same variety of tones
may be perfected in a correctly bal
anced choir of trombones as the larg-
est organ can produce"
