Post met at their hall Wednesday
evening, January rs with Com
mander Jack Crosgrove presiding.

Concordia Band
Concert Rated
Exceptional

The concert of the Concordia
College Symphonic Band under
the direction of Left Christianson
last Friday evening in the Sidney
H. S. gymnasium is regarded by
many local music critics to be the
elimination of musical events in
Sidney during the last decade.
The interpretations were of the
caliber attained only under a
conductor well-schooled in his
torical knowledge of the compo-
sitions as we'll as possessing a
very acute sense in the science of
musical acoustics, balances and
intonation.
The members of this marvellous
group played with the extreme
precision, fluency and eager spirit
of experienced artists. The rem
dition of Haydn's Concerto for
Trumpet" first movement, with
soloist Paul Opsahl, was very well
received because of the excellence
in performance of the soloist and
the accompaniment, also because
of the fine arrangement of the
conductor.
The attainment of this group
could be recognized by the promo
ton of a European tour as some
of the fine bands from this must
cal sensed college has in the
past.
