Bandsmen Air Their Grievances At Toronto MEETING: OF AMATEUR BANDS ASSOCIATION HELD IN TORON- TO ON WEDNESDAY—LOCAL BAND SEND ENTA- TIVES—DISCUSSION MAY RE- SULT IN MUCH GOOD. {On Wednesday representatives of thy bands which had participated in| ¢ the contest at the Canadian National ibition met in Toronto and aired their grievances at a meeting called by the Amateur Bands Association. A good representation was present from different parts of the agi and much discussion took lacg,! rom which it is hoped that cones erable changes will be made In the contest rules next year when these matters are further discussed at the annual meeting of the Association. The Listowel band was represent- ed by the leader, Mr. A, Welsh, Mr. Gibson and Mr, Beaman. At a invitetl m of the band, the editor of The Banner was invited to accompany em as he had al- ready received’ an invitation from the Association to be present. The Banner was the only weekly news- paper represented, although invita- tions had been sent to other papers in towne Interested, The first claes discussed was that of Class A, for which there was no competition this year nor has ther ay ; two or three years pas —s B was algo discussed, but the dissatisfaction occurred in Claes C1 and C2. . e Listowel band maintained that the arene for the contest in their class should have taken place only emadiately re the playing, whereas a spa two hours inter- rane. Atthot oe ght ted denied by the president that this was done, he admitted yes Ar that he was not present whepdthe drawing took place and the secretary gave the excuse cna ae did not know at that time but @ bands would play immedi ety after the drawing. One of the loca men, however, stated that the time i Diazing was given him immediate the secre- tary. The other ae That of hav- ing the judge make his an- nouncement, was also discussed by all classes and ai resolution was passed which will be taken up by the executive at the annual meet- ing which stated that the judge must be In his tent before the drawing of Places, that the Gontest must proceed immediately and that the judge must make gg own annolincement of the winne All the tines for the dissatisfac- tion cannot be lald to the execut*ve of the Association. Various bands are to blame for not having repre- sentatives at the meetings called thus leaving the work to fall upon the shoulders of a . Many of the bands present stated that they had not received ——_ of these meet- ings on many occasions and this would !ndieate ry laxity on the part of the secretary In the manner of notifying the bands. The executive are at fault in not seeing that all the contest rules were strictly kept and it was shown In-the discussion that this had not been done, the ex- cuse In one case being lack of time. The adjudicator, Lieut. Harrison came in for considerable criticism, many of the ‘band leaders feeling that he was incompetent. e matks assigued to the anaes did not agree with the verbal report. Some band would receive a takes were reported fs the Slaying of the band, that band was given high marks and one of the winners. While nothing actually could be accomprshed at this meeting as it was held only for discussion, it is hoped that the different bands will send representatives to the annual meeting and make the changes that should be made to make the con- tests at the Canadian National Ex- hibition more popular in 1929.
