BAND PLAYS TO
q TWO AUDIENCES
Local Musicians Give Successful
Concert and Make Good
Showing in Their
New Uniforms

The Willmar Band in their double
header" concert last Friday evening
scored big hit Not only did the
boys come out in their new uniforms
and made classy appearance, but
the quality OF their music was Il de-
llghttul surprise to their audience.
Under the leadership OF Director
Hobbie the band has certainly been
making rapid progress and are to be
congratulated.
The new uniforms are white with
black sash and black cap trimmings
and give Il distinctive and dignified
air to the band. The organization is
now composed OF thirtysiX pieces.
Some Of the members have played but
a short time.
owing TO the cOmmendable response
OF the public in the buying of tickets
in advance for this event, it was found
advisable to put on two entertain
ments the same evening the first be-
ginning at I:4o clock and the second
1T $3.50. The first concert had full
house and the second over half.
AS a special attraction the band had
secured Prot. D. W. Boland, the cor
netist OF Minneapolis, and his wife, the
latter fine accOmpanist on the piano.
Their performance was simply great,
and each time, at least in the second
show which was the one attended by
the writer, they were called out twice
at each appearance on the program.
Mr.. Hollands performance on the cor
net was some OF the very best ever
done at Willmar. AS one Of his en-
cores he played without hitch a
selection in harmonics, an octave
above the regular set cornet music as
it is written, going as high as Z. above
high &.
The band gave several good num-
bers. Probably the best was their
last overture Garden OF Eden by
Barnard, wherein often their music
had the real symphony stuff in it.
The cOrnet duet "SeXtette from Lu-
via played By {. G.. GranOsKi and Il.
L. FUrsberg was very pleasing num-
her and the players were made to
respond to an encore.
The band boys realized from the two
concerts about enough to pay for their
new uniforms.
