Illini Enjoy Twilight Concerts University students have long enioyed twilight band C0ncerts in the quadrangle. The first open-air concert was in May 1907, and was held in front of the present English Building. An exchange of Sunday morning after Church pleasantries between University President Ed- mund James and A. Harding, director of the University's band, resulted in the first of the unbroken series of audi- iOI'ium twilight concerts on April 26, l9l I. ' Every year since then, twilight concerts by the Concert, FIFSI, and Second Regimental Bands have been part of Illinois tradition. The bands play outdoors on the audi- torium steps in 'fair weather and inside in rainy or windy Wedther. Every Wednesday night during the spring m0nths of April and May, students take time from their 5lUdies to enioy the spring weather and concert music. This Year, the program expanded. In addition to the Traditional Wednesday twilight concerts in front of the Auditorium, a Friday evening concert was given at MRH by the First Regimental Bend.
