THE MADISON PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND.
After weeks camping trip on the Cobe
estate in Northport the Madison boys, &C
|
tt rned home Monday. They reported a
delightful visit and were anxious to come
again. They wore khaki uniforms and
were very gentlemanly lot of boys, but
were equally alive to good times in all
kinds of out of door sports. They were
generous with their music and unusually
proficient for such young lads. They
played at the Colonial Theatre Friday
evening when every foot of standing
room was occupied. Every selection was
vigorously applauded and Roland Della
ware the nine-year- old cornetist, brought
down the house. His attitude was that
of veteran, his time and tones excellent
and he was perfectly at home as he play
ed Silver Threads Among the Gold. He
! is dear little lad with future. Every
one was delighted with the tenor solos of
Victor Wren, who sang Somewhere a
Voice is Calling and Till We Meet
| Again, with band accompaniment. His
voice is very clear and sweet and under
| fine control. He is now New York SOLO
| list, but began his musical career in the
public schools of Madison only few
years ago. The rendering of "Smiles"
by the entire band received most favora-
BILE comment from competent judges. Mr..
ToWne explained that none of the boys
have taken lessons outside of their regu-
lar school work. He advised Belfast to
undertake like work.
