62 CLOWNING AROIQND 'I he I.ittle German Band is a great success wherever it goes. German music fills the air to the tunes of Um Die Izclrte uim. Xacgt Iehen, and Wir sind die Sanger vom Schwartzeralde. In some of our later concerts, ue have mixed in some comedy rag- time music. 'I his ragtime music goes over as well as the Gemian IIIUSIC. The little German Band in Port Byron Central School was first organilesl -this year, and so far has given three performances. 'Ihe real name for our organization is Ilerr I.ouie and his Hungry five in Germany. Ilerr Iouie is the leader. Other mem- bers are Gretchen, Ilulda, I'r1tLie, Frieda, and Adolph. The hand was first organized as a comedy skit. but after the first performance, uhich was at the County Men Teachers' Meet- ing, we receixed two more offers to play at a Sadie Hawkins Day dance in Auburn, and at the Senior Class supper. We played for these two groups. The organization is entirely voluntary and the only pay we get is the fun of doing. Costumes and wisecracks are part of each performance and usually the audience goes wild before we are done. Sorry to say, but the Little German Band has all the members it can use, and the only opportunity to get into it is to play an instru- ment and take the place of one of the members when he graduates.
