THIS PACE SPONSORED BY HOSELEY 8: ORR INCOHE TAX SERVICE Around the square are a loyal bunch of Business and professional people. These with the countryside who attend Wednesday and Saturday night concert have encouraged the young folks to do their best. Proof that school music at Sidney functions and carries over is that perhaps a dozen alumni come back each summer,practice and play regularly with the 60 piece sumner group It is the fact that the American Legion Rodeo board has seen fit to give contracts the last few years to this organization that has made possible the purchase of many new and rare instruments. The marching precision necessary for the Wand Entry' has greatly enhanced the chances of the fall school band to win top State llarching honors. Not the least of the factors of success has been band of sincere hard working 'Band Mothers . This substan- tial organisation and parents who believe in music as a fine activity and avoication have been perhaps to many an unknown factor and little praised large group who have contributed their share.
