Lamb, Richard Leapley, William Little, Guy Mutschler, William Schuerger, Albert Treynor, Bert Wheeler, John HE High School Bands were struck a severe blow this year when the War Department failed to provide a military band leader, and Band Leader Frederick Hess was accordingly relieved from duty. Instead the bands were placed under the music director of schools and his department, Mr. Ludwig Manoly taking charge of Tech and Eastern, while Mr. Hiram Summerhays took Central and Western. Band Leader Hess has left a long and colorful career behind him. He was at the helm of the Cadet Bands for eight years, guiding them with a sure and steady hand. First, Central and McKinley had the only bands, but two years ago Western and Eastern fell in line. He brought about an annual band competi- tive drill by which he hoped to increase the interest of the boy musicians in these bands and to set the standards of the bands higher each year. We have only to go back to last year's drill and we can see that the winning band was only 2.5 per cent. from being perfect, which is going some for a school band. f- Y gf.. 1601 The bands are marked on appearance, march- ing, neatness, and music. A silver cup goes to ,the school of the winning band and a gold 'medal to the winning captain. The school winning two consecutive years keeps the cup permanently which was the case with Central this year winning in 1929 and 1930. Band Leader Hess brought all the bands to- gether on occasions such as the Brigade Review and the Regimental Competitive Drill, forming the Brigade Band where the winners and the losers play side by side causing good feeling and good sportmanship among the respective bands, as well as keener competition. He gave special musical instruction to bands- men at the Cadet Camp which was very help- ful to those who were candidates for commis- sions in the bands. It is hardly possible to enumerate all that he has done for the Cadet Bands which will make it mighty hard for them ever to forget the services of Band Leader Frederick Hess.
