Little do the residents of most
OF the communities of the Eastern
States realize the Importance that
Is placed on the study of music in
the public schools in the Middle
West and West. This high school
band from Illinois, while made up
Of young musicians, will give a
concert comparable with most pro-
feSSional organizations. OF course
they work all season on one or two
concert programs, while many pro-
fesSional organizations must at
times sight read with little prac-
tice.
It is worthy of note that Tschai-
kowSky, Bach and Rimsky- Korsa-
kow are represented on the pro-
gram. One reason amateur bands
and orcheStraS in this end of the
country do not advance far is due
to the fact that most conductors
have the idea that youngsters like
to work on simple" music until
they attain perfection in perform
ance. The great amateur bands
and orcheStraS from farther west
shoot high and the conductors get
the anticipated response. It will
be well worth ones while to hear
this splendid organization.
