THE BAND FESTIVAL The band festival held in Wellsboro on March 19, 20, 21 was one of the big events of the year, indeed we might say the biggest. It was not only of unusual interest to the school but to the entire community as well. I Everyone was looking forward to the concert and all preparations seemed perfect when the spring floods came and to some degree ruined the attendance. For some time it seemed as if the concert would have to be postponed, but that would have been difiicult, so it was decided to proceed if possible. On Thursday the first ones to arrive were from Shinglehouse. This was encouraging because if they could come from that distance it was certain that others could get here as well. New carloads of players and instruments kept coming in all day and by' night a fairly good sized band had collected. Those who had arrived were assigned homes in which to stay and the band work commenced. The band surprised the school by playing for us during our morning assembly and proved to us the profit of their hours of practice on Thursday. A check-up of all the players showed that one hundred seven of the expected one hundred sixty-four had managed to reach Wellsboro. All day Friday, and Saturday morning the band practiced diligently in preparation for the two scheduled concerts. The Saturday matinee was given for the students of the school was was enjoyed immensely by those in the well-filled auditorium. The band, as well as the audience, were greatly delighted with the exhibition of drumming given by Mr. William F. Ludwig, a renowned authority in the art of drumming. However, it was learned that, unfortunately, Captain Taylor Branson, conductor of the famous United States Marine Band, who was to have been the guest conductor, could not get here because of the heavy flood. The concert of the evening was without a doubt one of the finest things Wellsboro has ever attended and the entire band and its leaders should be commended for their very fine appearance. The program and the guest conductors were: Greetings ......................................................................... ........ R ock L. Butler Response ............................................................................... ......... J ohn F. Myers March- Pride of Navy ........................................................ ....... A . S.

Filmore Although to present the program had taken ten hours of practice a day, the entire band agreed that it had enjoyed the work and it had managed to find time for various recreations. Thus the fine band festival has ended and all Wellsboro would gladly welcome back a second time such a fine group of musicians. May it be our privilege to do so! W. F. D., '37.
