Show Junior Grade Band School Year Feature Next Monday morning,, stuck'nt.-i who have enjoyed a long and happy vacation, will lay aside thoughts of camping, fishing, hiking and tho beautiful outdoor life, and ag.vn take up studies that will eventually fit them for the great business world. All is in readiness for the opening of the schools and the several sev-eral buildings have been put in first-class shape through thorough cleansing and renovating. It is indicated in-dicated that the registration will bo equally, if not larger than at the opening a year ago. Many new features are to be introduced, in-troduced, primary among which will be the starting of a junior band ft the Washington public school. The organization and tutorship of tho band will be under the supervision of Harold Bradley, in charge of tho music department of tho Gunnison Valley high school. Plans are being be-ing worked out to have between thirty and forty pieces in the junior band and will include ambitious i.tv dents from the third to the eighth grade. A survey of the students shows a sufficient number musically inclined to maintain an up-to-dato junior band and with such an organization, organ-ization, well trained, Gunnison could boast of a bunch of real musicians of the junior class, to take the plac of an adult organization, which is lacking in this city. Parents should avail themselves of this opportunity and aid in every way in getting a junior band from the grade schools organized. Encouragement En-couragement and moral support will do wonders and with the proper direction di-rection and taining that the band students will receive, patrons will bn well repaid. |
