expression were played and attacks
and releases were shown together
with excellent taste.
The brass section was very good
with special mention given to the
cornets for their skill in Jericho"
and "There's Something About a
Soldier." A pleasing blend of instruments were maintained throughout
the program. Perfect timing was illustrated by the percussion section.
Our national anthem was played
by the band before the program was
presented. The first group included
"Pantomime," from "II Cid" by
with fine tone quality displayed
by the French horn, and "Spanish
Comedy," by Bela with its changing
tempos.
In the second group of the "Core-natio- n
Scene" from the opera, "Boris
Godounow" by Moussorgsky was the
first selection. The chimes begin the
weird, oriental picture and the coronation march appears in the middle. "Bolero" concluded this group.

for wall paper circa 1900 and the
set got it, but with a vengeance!
The paper is a floral design of pink
and lavender roses on a black background and the hall at the back of
the set is done in blue and white
scroll design.
The other two scenes, the bar and
tne beach, will be enacted on
forms built on either side of the
stage. The actors in these scenes

orchestra pit and the acting area
