scholarship winners.
In the procession were men,
ibers from every Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks lodge in
Ohio and five other prominent
district bands.
Another outstanding honor
accorded the Caldwell band was
the privilege of playing the "Star
Spangled Banner" In a lone
rendition during the raising of
the flag at the state capitol.
Caldwell accepted the oppor-
tunity to perform at the Youth
Day gathering last March. The
invitation was received by Direc-
tor Wood from Fred L. Bohn
past grand exalted ruler, of
GAINESVILLE.
Prior to the beginning of the
parade, the Caldwell band was
given special recognition when
it was called upon to render a
single musical selection. At the
conclusion of it's rendition, the
Massillon band was also asked
to play a number.
The band left Caldwell at 1000
a. m. Thursday by charter bus.
Enroute, the group stopped at a
roadside park on USR 40, for
a picnic lunch and while there
members of the band were
greeted by the state director OF
parks.
Pictures were taken of the
group by the directors staff
photographer, and in all prob
ability will appear in sub
sequent state publication as q
promotion featuring the many
uses of a roadside park.
Following the parade and pro
gram, the bands were guests OF
the Ohio Elks lodges at a dinner
held in the Veterans Memorial
hall, Columbus.
In addition to Caldwell, other
bands participating in the Ohio
