cognized as the leading band playing
Latin American music, such as the
program to be given December 10,
both at concerts in the patio of the
Pan-American Building and over radio,
reaching large audiences of Americans
all over the country. However, Capt.
Stannard's organization plays equally
we'll and frequently programs fea-
turing compositions by native United
States-ers" and particularly Wash
ingtonians. The classical masters of
music Wagner. Liszt, Beethoven.
Brahms, Tschalkowsky, Strauss-and
Italian opera composers also are
generously represented on Army Band

Capt. Stannard, who entered mill
tary service when IS years old Studi-
ed music under Stats of the Boston
Symphony, Norrito. clarinet soloist
with Sousa's Band, Leroy of lie Garde
Republique Band of France, and Levy
of the Russian Symphony Orchestra.
In 1911 he won a scholarship to the
Institute of Musical Art, Frank Dam
rosch director. Here he completed
a four-year course in two years He
directed several Army bands and the
world famous Constabular Band of
Philadelphia before he was chosen in
the competitive examination of the
best Army band leaders to be leader
of the Army Band.
Not only has The Army Band a
picked personnel of the best musicians
in both Army and civil organizations,
but also the best library of music
and what is considered as excellent
equipment for continuous training.
Lectures on musical science and a
harmony course under the supervision
of Master Sergt. Theo. Bingert are
included in it.
The radio programs of the band are
so keenly enjoyed that it takes two
men to handle the radio mail CORE
spondence of about so letters and hun
dreds of cards every day. The band
gives valuable service in cooperation
with civil organizations and especially
community center work and enjoyed
an extremely successful tour. the first
of it's career, last Summer. Capt. Stan
nard may we'll be ranked with Capt
Santelmann of the Marine Band and
John Philip SouSa for his achieve
ments in developing a splendid mill
tary organization in an exceptionally
short time. The Army Band received
official recognition from Congress
within three years since its organiza
tion-a unique distinction. Moreover
the Army Band is on congenial terms
with both the other service bands in
Washington. The bandsmen have
unusually attractive uniforms of cadet
eray-the only Army Band to wear
such a uniform-and it is anticipated
that the Army Band will play a prom
inent part in the Washington music
festival planned for next. May. Capt
Stannard is also planning special pro
grams for the Superintendents of Edu
cation meeting here of college alma
mater. The Army Band under Capt
Stannard is, indeed, an organization
of which Washington can be justly
proud.

| THERE are many energetic and
talented young composers in
America but few are among the num-
| ber who can see the premier perform
ance of a new musical comedy for
| which they wrote the music, of
concerto played by a leading sym
| phony orchestra, and of an operetta
with score by their nimble peR within
! a period of two weeks. This is the
| case of George Gershwin, VINO was in
| Washington last week for the open
| ing of "Tip-Toes," soon to go To New
York. Mr.. GerShwin is well estab-
| lished as a leading writer of musical
! comedy music with inSinuatinE Jazz
/ rhymthmS. but il is his 'Rha psody in
| Blue" that jazz work written in
| rhapsody form and featured by Paul
| Nhitemans concert jazz orchestra
that has won him a good-sized peak
| all to himself as a pioneer in the de-
velopment of real American music.
! December 3 and 1 will see the first
| performa nces of his concerto for piano
and orchestra to be played by the
| New York Symphony Orchestra in
| New York to houses already sold out
according to a telegram Mr.. Gershwin
! received the middle of the week
| which also announced that tentative
| reservations for two later dates TO give
this work with symphony orchestra
| were already being arranged for New
| York in January. Mr.. Gershwin and
! Mr.. DamrOsch'S organization will play
| the work here December s. Two weeks
| from now Mr. HammerStein'S new
| play Song of Flame" will see it's
! premier in Washington. The musical
| score, based on Russian themes. was
! also written by this bright young
| composer.
George GerShWin has had regu-
| lar Horatio Alger heros career to a
! high pinnacle already, and he is only
/ 81 years old. Born in New York of
! parents of Russian ancestry. he grew
up on the East Side and played all
the rouch-a nd-tumble games of boy
| hood with Nav Posen. one of Amer
ica's leading concert Violnists. Mr.
Gershwin's father was a restaurant
! keeper. and so far as he can trace
| the family traits. no member of his
people was musiCally gifted. George
GerShwin was 13 years old before he
began the study of piano, due to the
simple fact that the family could not
afford to buy one, even on the Install
; ment plan, until then.
II only studied piano for four
years" said Mr.. GerShwin in an in
terview, when, seated in the back of

difficult parts of their work for the

eneral Pershing S Band''
The Largest Military Band

THE United States Army Band,
which may we'll he known as
Gen. Pershing's Band" is now the
largest military band in the United
States, according to an announce
ment made by Capt. w. j. Stannard,
its efficient leader. Gen. Pershing is
not only the bands godfather, but is
organizer. for ii was as a result of
close observation of European military
bands during the World War that the
general, realizing the need of a re-
preventative band in our own Army,
made the organization of such a body
one of the first matters attended to
after becoming chief of staff. In the
Spring of 1922, 90 musicians were
organized into the Army Band at
Fort Hunt. Va, under First Lieut..
p w. Lewis who was made the com
manding officer and remained with
rhe band until 1924 when Capt. r. G..
sherman. it's present commander, as
sumed charge. The commanding
general with Jurisdiction over the
band is Gen. RoCkenbach.
For drum major. Cen Pershing
selected Sergt. Willis $. Ross, the
first member of the band to be chosen.
He was selected from among the
ranks of all the drum maj jors in France
in the A. +. +. lie was CONSIDERED
The premier drum major of the United
states Army from point of view of
technical equipment, personality and
musicianly ability.
In September. 1922, the band was
ordered to Washington, which it has
adopted as its own particular city,
snuch to the qualification of Wash
ingtonians With the need of a capable
