Hearty Rivalry Noted for
the School Band Prizes
National Contest to Be Held at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, on Last Friday and Saturday of May,
1927
Prize-winning school bands from many States
are to meet next May at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
to determine which is the champion band of
the country. That competition, which will be
the second national affair, will be held on the
last Friday and Saturday of May, 1927. The
participants in the contest will be the prize
winners selected from the various State and
sectional contests. Last year's national con-
test winner was the High School Band of Joliet,
111., A. K. McAllister, director, with the second
prize won by the High School Band of Fostoria,
O., J. W. Wainwright, director. Last year there
were thirty-three first prize winners in the vari-
ous classifications.
The rules for conducting this competition are
contained in a pamphlet, "State and National
School Band Contests," just issued by the Na-
tional Bureau for the Advancement of Music,
at its headquarters, 45 West Forty-fifth street,
New York City. That pamphlet is issued as a
part of the Bureau's co-operation in this move-
ment with the Committee on Instrumental
Affairs of the Music Supervisors' National Con-
ference, under the auspices of which the various
contests are carried on. The growth of the
movement is indicated by the size of this book-
let, with its forty-eight pages, as compared with
the eight pages in that of 1924.

leaders were given due consideration in the
selection of the assigned prize numbers for the
various classifications, which are to be the fol-
lowing: Classes A and B—"Huldigungsmarsch"
from "Sigurd Jorsalfar," Suite No. 2, by Grieg'
Class C—Intermezzo from "L'Arlesienne," Suite
No. 2, by Bizet; Class D—Handel's Largo.
Chambers of commerce, Rotary and Kiwanis
clubs and other civic organizations have shown
their pride in the bands of their respective com-
munities by helping the latter to finance their
trips to the different contests. In one instance,
where such assistance was not forthcoming—
in Lowell, Mass.—the boys themselves raised
the $4,000 needed for their trip in a house-to-
house canvass.
At the time of last year's national contest,
the National School Band Association was or-
ganized with the thirteen bands in the National
as original members. The officers selected were:
Hyrum Lammers, Ogden, Utah, president; A.
R. McAllister, Joliet, 111., first vice-president; J.
W. Wainwright, Fostoria, O., second vice-presi-
dent; C. M. Tremaine, New York, secretary-
treasurer. The players in the member bands
are entitled to wear a special pin, which re-
produces the insignia of the Association.
These contests are promoted by the music
supervisors for the sake of their influence in
stimulating better band playing in the schools.
To that end, the committee in charge has
recommended a standard instrumentation for
the sixty-eight-piece band which has been ap-
proved by such prominent band directors as
John Philip Sousa, Edwin Franco Goldman and
Lieut. William C. White, principal of the Army
Music School, Washington, D. C.

The Paramount Banjo Hour will be a new
feature of radio broadcasting programs begin-
ning December 2, according to an announce-
ment made this week by William L. Lange,
manufacturer of Paramount banjos, 225 East
Twenty-fourth street, New York.
Mr. Lange has engaged the services of radio
broadcasting station WOR, the Bambergcr
store, Newark, N. J., every Thursday evening at
8 o'clock.
The feature of the programs will be the
music by the Paramount banjo trio, a group of
well-known artists whose names will not be
announced at this time. It is the expectation
of Mr. Lange to present banjo music to the
public in a high-class manner that will create
appreciation of the genuine merit of a really
fine instrument in the hands of a capable per-
former.
The advertising department of the Lange
firm is now engaged in the preparation of a
booklet featuring the Paramount banjo for the
radio listeners who write in for it. These
Paramount Banjo Hours should make a won-
derful sales tie-up for musical instrument deal-
ers, particularly in the metropolitan district.
MILWAUKEE, WIS., November 22.—A Holton
