is ver like arcadee or so many of us believe and h is a belief that helps a ktt there is a boys band in arcadte that it would be grand to talk about if folks would listen long enough and not get bored i went to a rehearsal of lhe band the other evening and saw and heard things that were music in a far tlner sense than an thing a music lover llnds in concert halls and thea tres rehearsal there were eighteen young players in the band room bojs from the pub lic school boys with men s voices and boys whose clear treble tones were light as twitter of wrui of finch through an english coppice clarinets cornets fligelhorns baritones tram bones drums and a sousaphone were instruments represented musical di rector was a fatherly music lover whose own boy in earlier days had won all aorta of trophies in solo hand work the music they made was variously splendid terrible sweet agonising thrilling discordant awful and beautiful they played marches and exercises in scale and interval and hymn tunes to sit back as an alleged music critic and listen was to have grand opera oratorio mendilssohn choir chorallsm cathedral liturgy vir tuoso sololsm cabaret dissonance jit terbug delirium band festival pande monlum and heart searching phrases of heavenly loveliness all mixed up and one after the other it was boydom blessed bo dom expressing itself in terms of tones and stml tones and phrases and cadences and rhythm harmony and dissonance the critic listened and looked some- i times when he ought to have listened j he looked and viceversa a face a facial expression a frowning brow or i laughlnt tve had perfect counter part in a lovely sustained tone a mel clarinet note a sweet persuasive 1 phrase a trombone passage of noble steadiness criticism it was delightful to try and imagine hat world famous conductors and bandmasters might say to these young bandsmen of arcadee about their playing i h ic licird the dyrnmic nlkisch blast a tornado of wrath upon the men in london rehearsal hans rlchter would roar abuse through his pitflirnfhal whiskers at the halle orchestra even during concerts bee- cham can bllster his plajeri with polished carcaam and a stokowski re mark at rehearsal can freeze like a hurricane from the stratosphere but is was still more delightful to know how feeble and out of place these tonguelashings would really be for here in this band room there is mora than musicmaking of the crotchet and quaver sort the very soul of musk is abroad amongst these boys and their instruments these boys are learning to make better mu sic than that of overtures and marches and hymn tunes tbey are learning to play together so that their playing may be good and pleasant sounding to a listening world outside and as tbey learn this gentle art they are also mastering that more difficult art of urine in a world far more complex and contradictory than ever counter point and fugue and musical form can be pot when music whisper to the listening ear she smys things that the the lad that blows a saxaphone will blow a safe nor hard luck artists nor highpressure salesmen the catalogue might be continued but will not one of these days we will add classes in band music to our public school curriculum that is not to suggest that all children should learn music though music is every but as precious to the young heart and mind as know ledge of geography or even history books are so full of facts figures and fancies nowadays and are so available and cheap that book learning is a bit of a joke music music is as much a habit as good manners good living and good sense they don t know it yet but these band boys qf arcadee have chosen one of music s roughest roads the work they will have to do in their band win be its own reward andthat is the only reward it will win the crowd listens to band music with much the same en thusiasm that it has when you haul it out of bed at half past four in the morning to see the most gorgeous sunrise earth has everr known but the boy who plays in a band gets a secret of lifes proportions that nothing scholastic or academic can ever give him if he only tootles ten different notes in a whole pro his playing has been a graduation in the university of life this is not exagge ration nor the vaporing of a trn enthusiast there was a unship amongst those nmstomaking boys of arcadee of most loyal and beautiful sort sensitiveness too of very pre cious quality in all reverence it can be said that their musicmaking was sincere and heartmoving aaany old- time experience meeting amongst methodists of bygone days in clarinet comet trombone and baritone pas sages there were selfrevelatkins of character very beautiful and very real music is a great truth teller there will be plenty of entertain ment at georgetown
