The nine entries in the southern
district are an increase from one in
1928, but because OF the limited
number in each class it has been
decided to call of southern district
contests and TO permit its entries to
90 direct to the state contest.
The great number of entrants in
the district contests this year indi-
Gates a considerable increase in the
number that will take part in the
state contest this year as compared
with 1928. In the latter year there
were twenty-five bands and twelve
orcheStras competing at Muncie,
when Froebel high school, Gary.
