CALENDAR FOR
BANDS GIVEN
Juvenile Band Will Resume
Activities

The Juvenile Bands will resume
a little over two weeks.
Following is the schedule for the
school year:
Beginners Band:
Tuesday, $ p. M; Thursday 5 p.
m.; Saturday 10 a. m.
Second Band:
Monday 1918 p. M; Wednesday S
p. M; Saturday 10 a. m.
Concert Band:
Tuesday ISIS p. M; Thursday ISIS
p. M; Saturday IL n. m.
There will be no new class of be-
ginners organized this fall; such a
class will be organized next June,
after school has closed. This has
been found most advisable because
of the fact that beginners need more
constant and regular attention than
can be given them during the school
year.
! Members of the present Beginners
Band will be promoted to the Sec
ond Band as they show sufficient
progress. In like manner, the pres
ent members Of the Second Band
will be promoted to the Concert
Band.
I The evening practices have been
discontinued as much as is possible.
The High School Orchestra will
also be recognized this week, and
the plan is to increase its member
ship.
Mr.. Sorlien will also have charge
of the High School Glee Club. The
plan is to have a glee club of mixed
voices and to limit the membership
to only those who have some ability
along that line.
Tryouts will be conducted to make
such selection.
