The most common ly used orchestra instruments will be played and explained. The afternoon program is free, and for the nominal price of the evening concert the children may wish to bring an interested parent or two. They will all want tu hear the Grammar School orchestra which was so warmly commended at the P. T. A. on Tuesday afternoon. Miss Lotz's Dancing class is an added attraction for the evening. Each instrument in the violin family will be played separately and in ensemble, and several wind-instruments will be similarly played, then the two groups will be combined. The Grammar School orchestra has almost doubled in size since school began. New members need to know their instruments before joining the orchestra, and many have asked what instrument they should take lessons on, not being familiar enough with them to choose intelligently. We will try to help them choose. If a musical foundation is started before a child is nine years of age, it stands a much better chance of maturing into a joy-giving accomplishment than it wi.JI if it has to corltend against basket ball, dancing, swimming, and the like, as it does in the upper grades. A year or two spent in learning to play on the piano is a good foundation for any instrument, but is not absolutely essential. If a small boy or girl has the promise of another instrument in the rosy future, it might help to spur their interest in the piano. A few old favorite community songs will be tried with the orchestra accompaniment, and we wourd like an expression of opinion as to whether we should undertake the project, and suggestions as to how it should be financed.
