The Band The Canton Hand, under the capable leadership of Miss Dominy and her co-worker, Mr. Appleton, has risen to a new height during the past year. Due to the loss of many important players and the receiving of many inexperienced Junior Band students into our organization, we were not expecting the success we enjoyed. The Band has made many public appear- ances this year. A 'few of these were: foot- ball and basketball games, our annual con- cert, the Music Festival in Potsdam, village celebrations and the state contest held at Amsterdam, New York. Ten members of the Band attended the .music clinic in Ithaca and eight soloists competed in the state contest. ' We wish the Band another successful year in 1939-40 and hope that this organiza- tion 'will continue to flourish in the Canton schools. . ' - Keith -Mayhew. Orchestra . , y .
