A BAND MAKES IT APPEARANCE

A A IT
The APPEARANCE of a band in our community under
the direction of Peter G. Thurland was indeed a heartwarm-
ing experience for music lovers and others who took part and
enjoyed the Fourth Of July celebrations. Without such a band
the observations could not have reached the heights thew did.
THIS ISLAND has been without an organized, function
ing brass band for several years, and that is indeed a refec-
ton upon us. There can be no denying that fact. And what
is even more significant is that our people have been known
to be lovers OF music, and in many instances to have excelled
IN it. Under the present day circumstances, with many aspects
OF our cultural life at their lowest ebb, the appearance Of a
band, even if small, is an accomplishment both for the men
and its leaders, which must call forth words of commentator.
TN WAS when this island boasted three bands; when
the local budget appropriated funds for a sort Of subsidy;
when concerts were given weekly, and any parade could see
the three bands in full array making the parade all the more
colorful and enjoyable. What, then, is the reason for the com
Plete drop within the past 10 or Is years?
NTHE FIRST place, there has been a lowering Of civic
immigration. This is always noticeable when people, old and
young, seem to see little or no value in going forward. The
only solution seems to be to pack up, close up shop and sail
away. Also, those who have to1ed long and hard lose faith
as they see their efforts dwindle away. In the second place.
failure to follow through with organized music training at the
high school level is perhaps the greatest factor to the lull. Be-
cause of ~budgetary problems organized training in high school
could not be followed through. In practically all high schools
of any size and importance, the music departments are among
the strongest and most well organized, and this training seeps
into community life after high school.
THOSE WHO PUT forth much effort in the past should
not feel that their efforts were in vain. The men who played
in bands and learned the more serious side of music, have

while on the topic, an excellent opportunity is presented to
extend credit to those who worked hard in their day, irving
to develop and carry on with bands. Among these have been.

IT is hoped that the day is
not far off when music will re-
turn to this community, and
that we will be. able to boast
a fine band.
