the issue of saturday july 3jth the following article sub stituting no doubt the name area- die for georgetown it may prove of equal interest to herald readers in discussing the pros and cons of the band situation the home town band the good music loving citizens of arcadee are in disgrace 1 the press chides them sternly for not support ing their town band at a public con cert recently given by that ensemble in the movie house of arcadee the audience on this occasion was almost as small in proportion as that gathered in massey hall toronto when the prague teachers chorus the westminster ohio singers the belgian guards band sousas band and other world famous musicmak ers performed there the town band of arcadee had won premier honors jn an ontario wide festival band contest held a week or two earlier the mayor and council of the town tendered the musicians a banquet of thanks and congratula- tlon in consequence this ill attend ed public concert preceded said ban quet hence and possibly not with out reason the press of arcadee in terpreted the small audience as evl dence of community indifference to music band music town band music town band triumphs in provincial wide competition and many other beautiful attributes of social life band business it wasnt that at all the fact that the town band of arcadee is one of the best in the province proves that the citizens of arcadee are the ri sort o folk ion t grow on trusties neither do fine little town bands spring from communities of nit wits and llliter ates if the small audience at area dee s band concert wai evldenc of anything it showed that arcadee folk didn t choose to sit penned up ior a couple of hours on a warm summer cvtnlng ui a movie house listening to band music and speech making and ho dare blame arcadee what is said here about arcadee and its band and its citizens applies also to every other little music loving town of canada there is a principle underlymg things even so amiable and obvious as town bands and their up poit we too often forget this prln clplc arcadee herself may be in danger ol forgetting it a town band is much more than a music maker if it lsn t then it shouldn t be called a town band it should get a high lunding professional name and go into business as a money maker then the cackle about public spirit and town enterprise mixed up with fame and publicity and profit making for somebody or other t would be i l at onte and forever competition there is a thrill in winning com petition is said to be the law of exist ence that it lsn i doesn t do away with the fact that most people say it thre is a thrill in knowing that your man has won your team has on yoar town band has wonr there is a thrill standing on the side walk at midnight watting for your town band to come home with all their blushing honors thick upon them and when the gallant bands men take their places around the big lamp in main street and play a jubi lain mardi of triumph well is any muiic sweeter or more stimulating umn this it makes a man want to love his relations pay his debts get a trombone and serenade the universe on one of saturn s faroff ringif iuih for competition but what ibout music track weary the best or men and women get track wearj at times however well they love their job and however good tt ey are at it this rule seems to hold the great outside public wearies just the same only they weary sooner and oftene- and nothing is so wearying as succeis in competition the cheer ing that began gently a sort of pianissimo of hope and fear gets louder and louder from a memo piano it grows to a forte then a fortissimo then a double and treble and quadruple fortissimo then noth ing but a quintuplet of quintuple for lisslml with a sforzondo of paralyzing intensity at every pulse in every measure will satisfy and after that what it used to be said during the war when thrilling headlines sent crowds rushing out into the street to buy extras hat the public wanted a blen helm for breakfast a waterloo for lunch a trafalgar and jutland dinner and the whole lot together just before going to bed arcadee fine little town band knows something about these climaxes and anticlimaxes of competitive tri umph and who dare deny that it is possible just possible that the peo pie of arcadee ore getting track weary of the fcuslness it may be so it is worth thfcg aboufr- meanwblle mtddc it

often to do its music should tell every listener within hear in something to be remembered din ing the day s work something to lighten sorrow for there is sorrow even in arcadee to sweeten sadness and to whisper encouragement when the way is long and the heart gets weary when the band marched through the roads and avenues of the town playing as they marched as all bands are supposed to be able to do they would bring a message that only music can to places that otherwise are silent and unforsaken the very trees and grass would echo the song of the band the listener would look at familiar foliage now shadowing and shading unfamiliar sounds and his street would never be quite the same to him again and what these musical enterprises would mean to the band itself is another story a won
