Snowy Parade j
Previews Spring
Band Concert
The Nome School Band surprised
everyone on Front Street yester
day by marching through town
in full uniform with a light snow
falling, practicing for the parade
to be held in Anchorage during
the Festival.
Yesterday aternoon the School
Band presented a program for the
school which was well received,
and enjoyed by the students.
Their program tonight at 8
o’clock will include selections
which will be played at the Band
Festival in Anchorage April 24th
and 25th. One of the most popu
lar of the selections played yes
terday was the medley of song
hits from the musical comedy,
“My Fair Lady.”
In addition to a well-balanced
program of band numbers, three
members of the band will present
solos. About fifteen of the band
members will solo in contests
during the Festival at Anchorage.
Proceeds from the concert to
night will go toward the trans
portation cost to and from An
chorage. Private homes in An
chorage, many of whom have band
students of their own, are gener
ously offering housing for visit
ing bands, and it is estimated that
there will be over a thousand
band and chorus students in An
chorage or this musical event.
The High School Festival is
not something new, but has been
held annually for several years,
alternating between Fairbanks
and Anchorage, as those are the
only two cities in northern Alas
ka with facilities big enough to
handle that many musicians.
Many schools will be represen
ted, all of which raise funds as
Nome is doing, so that the stu
dents may have this fine oppor
tunity of participating.
Transportation has been ar
ranged with Alaska Airlines, and
the band is scheduled to leave
here on April 23rd.
The band now consists of 36
members. Music director and band
leader Wm. Bixby also has a
junior band, which is developing
more material for a bigger band
next year. At that time he plans
to start training a musical chorus
also.
The concert starts tonight at
8 o’clock, and children under 10
years old attending must be ac
companied by parents.
