Having presented five free concerts, which were well attended, it made no less than twenty other public appearances. At three of the con¬ certs, we had the pleasure of hear¬ ing the band conducted by three guest conductors; Richard Maddei. of Lowell, Adam Lesinski of Whit¬ ing, and R. V. Roessler from Horace Mann of Gary. Our band has increased in size ; by 64 ' during this last year and j has added a new Baritone Saxa- | phone to its already long list of fine I instruments. This addition was made possible through the Band Mothers’ organization which has been very helpful in co-operating with our new and very competent director, Mr. E. R. Ready. Three hundred people attended the opening of the new Band Port¬ able, which is one of the finest in Indiana, on the 15th of April. There was special music by the Na¬ tional Contest winners from Hobart and Whiting and the Clarinet Quar¬ tet from Lowell. The Band and twelve soloists en¬ tered the District Contest at La- Porte in April where the band and most of the soloists placed in sec¬ ond division. They aje contem¬ plating entering the Chicagoland Music Festival in August. The dir¬ ector, Mr. Ready, and several band members are planning to attend the Van der Cook School of Music Camp at Bridgeton, Michigan, this summer.
