10 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1924 N. T. BAND T0 ENTER TOURNEY Will Vie for National Honors Among Scores of Prep Schools IN NEED OF UNIFORMS Members in Plea for Com- pletion of Fund By J. R. The entrance of the New High School Band in the national band contest has been ac- cepted. This means that again this spring, as last, the organization will play against other bands from all over the country in an attempt to win the prize and gain the title of the best high school band in the United States. The coming contest will be bigger than ever. In 1923 all organizations entered were required to come to 'Chi- cago to compete, but this year the wide scope of the tournament has made such a system impracticable. The contest is to be conducted in the same way as are the basket Dall tourneys: there will be state meets. then district meets, and lastly the final meet which will decide the national winner. At the present time exact details of time and place for the 1924 tourna- ment are not available. However, it is known that the contest will take place about the middle of May, and it is thought that the state meet will be in Springfield. The winner there will journey to another city and play against bands from neighboring states. From this district meet the victor will travel to a third city, somewhere in the country, where it will vie with the remaining organizations © for the national title. Of course, now that New Trier's band is entered in the tournament, it needs those new uniforms more urgently than ever. A smartly cos- tumed band looks well on any occas- ion, but especially so at a contest. In fact, outfits are almost a necessity, for appearance is taken into account in addition to good playing. It is significant to note that many other schools can boast of bands with uniforms. Only recently the New Trier News, New Trier's weekly pub- lication, received a copy of the paper from Waukegan High. One of the articles on the front page was an an- nouncement of a coming concert by the school band, at which that organ- ization would wear its newly acquired uniforms for the first time. Likewise the paper from Champaign, Illinois, described the new outfits re- Trier annual ceived by its band. Both Waukegan and Champaign will probably be en- tered in the Illinois state tournament, and the fine display caused by the uni- icrn's will be a serious obstacle to the New Trier boys,--unless, of course, the New Trier boys get their coveted suits in time. Another concert is being planned for April 10 to raise additional money for the uniforms. It was originally expected that the receipts from this concert could be used for railroad fare. However, if the Band Fund, now being conducted by Lloyd Hol- lister, Inc., does not reach its $2,000 quota by April 10, the concert receipts will have to go towards uniforms, and railroad fare will have to come from some unforeseen source. Such a crisis can be averted by the citizens of the township if they will only subscribe the few hundred dol- ars necessary to complete the fund. This amount does not mean much to a community of 25000 inhabitants, but it means'a great deal to the band members; it is everything between them and their coveted uniforms. Those uniforms, coupled with their al- ready good playing, mean a fine chance of taking the honors. PREDICT SUCCESS FOR SAN CARLO OPERA CO. A supplementary season of grand opera is to be given in Chicago. By the courtesy of the Chicago Civic Opera, Fortune Gallo, the well-known New York impresario, will present his San Carlo Grand Opera company at the Au- ditorium for one week, from March 31 to April 6 inclusive. Although, to ase his own words, For- tune Gallo feels that to bring grand opera to Chicago is somewhat like ship- ping oil to Oklahoma, he has decided to make the experiment, and {eels under an obligation to the heads of the Chi- cago Civic opera for enabling him to do so. One strong motive for the visit is that the San Carlo company has ap- peared in every city of importance in the United States with the exception of Chicago. Fach year it has a season of several weeks in New York, and last September and October the perform- ances of the company at the huge Cen- tury theatre in that city drew packed houses nightly. : Since then Fortune Gallo has taken his company, as in previous years, right across the continent, and it has appeared, usually to overflowing audiences ir Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, Pittsburgh, as well as in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other large cities of the Pacific Coast. Mr. Gallo has a per- fectly understandable and laudable de- sire to let Chicago hear his company in several of the works from a repertory of over twenty operas, and among those which may probably be given here are "Madame Butterfly," "La Boheme," "Aida," "Rigoletto," "Tosca," "Trov- atore," "Cavalleria Rusticana," Pagliac- ci," "Faust," "Carmen," "Tales of Hoff- man" and "Martha." tournament FIRST CHURCH OF Wilmette, Illinois Cordially Invites You and Your Friends to Attend Free Lecture on Christian Science by A.
