On the Bicentennial schedule are a European tour in August plus increased participation in national and regional band clinics and local, state and national tours and concerts. Conductor John Paynter says the purposes of the Bicentennial activities are to encourage the formation of community bands throughout the country and to increase the appreciation of the wide range of music played by concert bands. Band membership is composed of adult, highly-skilled, highly-trained musicians who volunteer time and talents to the organization. Members reside throughout the Chicagoland area.

Manned balloon flight, begun by a French rooster, a duck and a sheep in 1783. continues on June 13, 14 and 15 in Crystal Lake, Illinois, when 90 balloonists participate in "A Gathering of Eagles," the Midwest Balloon Cham­ pionship. The Balloon Federation of America (BFA) ha1!; sanctioned the event, sponsored by the Crystal Lake Chamber of Commerce. Points gained in the Crystal Lake meet will help determine pilot eligibility for national balloon championships. Among the events will be four "Tasks," two "Bombings" and two "Hare and Hound Capers." Other events will include the US Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, parachute jumping and an air show by stunt pilots in three Spitz specials. The nylon balloons fueled by propane gas participating in "The Gathering of Eagles" are a far cry from the linen bags used by the Montgolfier brothers of France who are credited with the invention of the balloon. Their balloons were filled with hot smoke generated by the burning of straw, old shoes, and rotten meat. After initial unmanned flights, they sent the rooster, duck and sheep aloft to see what the effects of flight would be. Since the only injury suf­ fered was by the rooster whose wing was broken by the ner­ vous sheep, it was deemed safe enough for humans to make the next flight. The Marquis d'Arlandes and . Pilatre de Rozier made the first aerial voyage after persuading King Louis XVI not to send two criminals. On Nov. 21, 1783, 400,000 Frenchmen gathered to view the twenty-five minute ride. After the success of the Montgolfier hot air balloon, Professor Charles, one of the best-known French physicists of the day, launched his hydrogen filled balloons which attained longer flight time. Soon these hydrogen filled balloons were soaring all over Europe. Balloon ascensions began as a form of public entertainment and so they remained for many years. The attention-getting property of the balloon resulted in a number of 19th-century aerial weddings, all drawing large crowds. Races were staged, and attempts were made to cross such geographical obstacles as the English Channel. When a European aeronaut fled his country in 1793 to avoid political persecution, he arrived in Philadelphia and brought the knowledge to stage the first U.S. ascension. By 1804 scientists felt that balloons were ideally suited for observation purposes. During the 1930's, Auguste Piccard, a Swiss professor, building on the knowledge gained by his 19th century counterparts, acquired fame in his research ascent when he reached an altitude of over 51,000 feet. Among the most dramatic balloon events were attempts to cross the North Pole. An 1896 French expedition and an 1897 Swedish expedition both met with failure. Aerial photography begun in the 1860's was a balloon in novation. Some photographs were city views; others were used for strategic purposes by warring armies. During the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, yet another use for balloons was discovered Besieged Parisians were able to communicate with the remainder of France by their skilled balloon pilots who were able to soar over the enemy lines. Earlier, Napoleon's armies developed a captive balloon, an unmanned balloon held by strong ropes. The captive balloons were used to spy on enemy movements. Both Confederate and Union troops used observation balloons during the American Civil War. One story tells of the "patchwork ship" balloon fashioned from southern ladies' silk dresses donated to the impoverished Rebel forces Balloons continued to be used in wartime until they proved too vulnerable to the attacks of enemv aircraft during World War il. With the birth of the airplane, balloons nearly disappeared SKYLINE Rout* 120-1 Mi le Ea«» of McHenry OPEN ALL WEEK -- fTV'V-'-- m CHARLES BR0NS0N «BREAKOUT* To the .

With the development of tough and inexpensive nylon for the en­ velopes and a burner system using propane gas, ballooning is rapidly regaining popularity. And although the materials used in the balloons are not the same as those of old, balloon occupants still carry the traditional bottle of champaign to soothe the ire of farmers in whose fields they land.
