Show BAND IN NEED . OF ASSISTANCE . ' . . , Local Musicians in Search of Finan-. Finan-. cial Assistance for the Buying of New Instruments and Music Saturday night's concert of last week at the Bingham Merc corner by the local band was featured by a talk his listeners to assist in holding the local band together. Speaking at length as to what benefits ben-efits are derived from a local band, the mayor soon made it clear that a town without a band was like a man without a country. The coffers of the band are empty and money is needed ,and must be raised at once. Dan Fitzgerald, acting committeeman committee-man on finance stated that the band must be kept intact at any cost,' and suggested that collection be made during the concerts given by this contingent con-tingent of stellar musicians. - It is true that a band is needed in Bingham Canyon, and the one at the present time will rank with any in the state, and yet the necessary assistance as-sistance is not forthcoming. Music is needed as is. new instruments, instru-ments, the musicians asking naught for their services. Arrangements are being completed to give one concert each week at Bingham, Copperfield and Highland Boy. What are YOU going to do toward holding intact this organization of musicians? , The officers of the band are: Mr. Bailey, Sr., manager; Mark (Barney) Jones, assistant; J. C. Johnson, director, direc-tor, and Leo Hood, assistant director. |
