Dover High Band 1933 Another champion for Dover to be proud of is our high school band. It certainly has won laurels of its own. The Dover band was the only Class B band from Ohio entitled to go to the national contest, and we arc happy to boast that they came home victorious. The bands competing at Evanston were graded in accordance with the three honorary ratings: first, second, and third. The band members proudly exhibit their gold plaques that were bought for them by the Band Mothers. These plaques designate the victory that our band has won, that of first place. Our band has put Dover on the musical map, and it is grateful to Dover for giving it its chance at Evanston, Illinois. As the band is small, having only seventy-six members, the lack of instruments was detrimental to its progress; but in spite of that fact it came out on top. Most of the credit is willingly given to Mr Alexander, our director. The members admit that the training for the contest was hard, and occasionally discouragement was noticed; but, on the other hand, every member admits that it was all worth while and each is proud to say that he is a member of Dover’s National Champion Band. The band learned many things at Evanston and, of course, had many good times and adventures. The members heard some of the best school bands in the country and saw some spectacular, snappy drilling. The dates of the eight, ninth, and tenth of June, 1933, will remain unforgettable to all the members of this band. We wish them all the best of future success.
