In keeping with the gaiety of the holiday! the greater portion of the program conmisted of marches, amOi^ theni Several patriotif: selection. : Many changes 'have b^n niadfe this year in . both the personnel and pro- ' cedure of the band and concerts. This spring, feeling that it was in the best 1-r-r interest of future bands to strengthen ' each year's organization with the addition of young members, many high ™ school musicians' w^re made> members ; of the band. At the same time the ' . City Council unanimously voted Paul Yandat as the natural choice as musical director of the band. As music instructor of both high and grade schools, they felt that it was only "natural that he would be in the best pesiti^~^-know' just what young musicians were capable of joining with Jthe older members. By so doing it is expected that they will gain valuetfperience for themselves as well adding their talent to one of the city's popular organizations.;. This y^ar about twelve schoot students » haye been added to eleven of the veterans who remain and three players from -out of town. Of the •veterans. Henry J, Schaefer holds the distinction of playing longest with the band, having held a prominent place in the trombone' section for more than forty years, He has watched these ambitious young players conve and go and has seen most •f his contemporaries retire from the band. The Organization is very fortunate- in having Mr. Schaefer anyone of its most valuable members. It is the opinion of the council that this combination of veterans and high school students has possibilities of producing something which, an organization of either g^oup alone cannot obtain. The formar can give their younger co-workers a wealth of experience gained over a number of years, while the youths may add their enthusiasm and new ideas. , The first concert last Saturday, evening would indicate "that the new system will be very successful although it will take time alone to prove its lasting merits.
