Shortly after our spring concert, the band played the some program at Chaska, and then went on a picnic at Shakopee, where awards were given. The band was improved this year from several stand- points, according to Mr. Snow. The smaller size has helped the band sound cleaner and more articulate. The band has a smoother and more fluid sound as well. Of course the ditticulty ot the literature we played this year is at its highest point since the bands inception.
