entertain Boston on the fair

heavy bats of the Merchants, who
almost knocked them off the
hill top last week.

THE CALDWELL BAND has an
other important date to fill on
their growing list OF engagements
for the late summer and fall
According to an announcement
made this week by Director Mar
vim p. Wood, the band will play
at Detroit, Mich, on Saturday,
July 80, for two seven-minute
performances in the afternoon
and evening. The occasion is the
annual Police Field Day held at
the University of Detroit sta
dium. an engagement filled by
the Musical Majorettes last year
The trip was booked by the Gus
Sun booking agency of Spring
field, will be made in a furnished
bus, and will net the band $500
and expenses. Pictures have been
taken by TeterS Studio to be used
in posters and advertising. Mr..
Wood, who is taking two weeks
additional band work at Ohio u,
also announces that the band has
secured two bass horns, Cymbals,
bass drum, and field drums from
the MajoretteS' equipment.
THE BAND SCHEDULE is now
lined up as follows:
July 80 - Detroit for Police
Field Day.
August 1-10-Band camp at the
Caldwell fairgrounds.
Aug. 1l-13-Bird's band clinic
at Bowling Green.
Aug. 14-Toledo for Cleveland

ingum valley league football pre-
yue.
Sept. 18-Cleveland for foot
ball game between New York
and Cleveland.
This schedule, together with
Saturday night concerts, Noble
county fair and other engage
ments, will no doubt replace the
annual swing around the MVL
football circuit this fall. Mr..
Wood states that the band will
make the football trip to any
league town requesting it, but
otherwise the band will appear
only at home games. This policy
is designed to eliminate some of
the hard feelings arising out of
certain situations last year.
