ANNUALCONTEST
Great Number of Entries for Band Event to Be
Held at Joliet, 111., May 24 to 26,
Assures Success.
The first of a series of news bulletins concerning
the third annual National School Band Contest to
be held at Joliet, 111., May 24-26, which has been
issued by the National Bureau for the Advancement
of Music. The publicity material notes an extraor-
dinary increase in the number of bands that have
entered in the various state contests preliminary to
the national tourney. It reflects the remarkable suc-
cess of the movement supported by the Music Super-
visors' National Conference and the National Bureau
to stress the educational value of competitive effort
among school bands.
Big Entries.
The National Bureau has received information from
state chairmen that to date nearly 500 juvenile bands
have entered the contests in more than thirty states.
Last year 350 bands competed in nineteen contest
units in the preliminary contests, and at the national
meeting twenty-three bands from fourteen states par-
ticipated. In 1923 before the contests were placed
under the Bureau's auspices, there were but two or
three state contests with a total entry of less than
fifty bands.
Yet to Hear From.
In order to retain the national trophy as a perma-
nent possession, Joliet must obtain the award again
this year, and this is one reason for the extraordinary
interest manifested by school bands throughout the
country in both the state contests and the forthcom-
ing national meeting. With the entry lists still open,
the states in which contests are being held are: Cali-
fornia, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
sissippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mex-
ico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, and the New
England section. Each competing unit is entitled to
send to the national contest four bands, the first and
second winners in each of two classes. The average
strength of the bands already entered in the state con-
tests is from forty to forty-five members.
The Committee.
The members of the Committee under whose
auspices the state contests are being held are: J. E.
Maddy, Ann Arbor, Mich., chairman; Jay W. Fay,
Louisville, Ky.; Lee M. Lockhart, Council Bluffs, la.;
Russell V. Morgan, Cleveland, O.; Victor L. F. Reb-
mann, Yonkers, N. • Y.; and C. M. Tremaine, New
York, secretary. Mr. Tremaine is also director of
the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music.
A. R. McAllister, of Joliet, president of the National
School Band Association, is in charge of arrange-
ments at the national contests.
The Judges.
Of the four judges who will act as a jury of
awards at the National School Band Contest at Joliet,
111., May 24-26, John Philip Sousa and Edwin Franko
Goldman have consented to serve. The third member
of the committee who will judge on the four points
of instrumentation, interpretation, tone and general
effect, will'be named later. J. E. Maddy, of Ann
Arbor, Mich., will conduct the sight reading contest
to be made from unpublished manuscript.

Small Goods Department of Sherman, Clay &
Co., Sponsoring Accordeon Club—Federal
Clubs Foster Music in Children.
The junior department of the Oregon Federation
of Music Clubs, of Portland, Ore., under the direction
of Jean Warren Carrick, are sponsoring an eight
weeks' music memory and understanding contest for
the junior members of the federated clubs of Oregon.
E. B. Hyatt of the Hyatt Music Company will give
a record to the successful weekly contestant and Louis
Mack of the Mack sheet music store, will give a cash
prize of $10.00 as first prize, $5.00 as second prize, and
a Federation pin as third prize, for the centestants
receiving the highest grade for the entire contest. It
has been announced that the records and rolls of the
numbers to be presented can be obtained at the music
stores.
The small goods department of Sherman, Clay &
Co. of Portland, Ore., under the direction of How-
ard Stanchfield, manager, is sponsoring an accordeon
club, under the leadership of Jack Enzler, an experi-
enced teacher. The club has 49 members who meet
weekly at the department for practice and instruction.
Nearly the entire equipment of the organization is
Hohner or Galleazzi instruments.
Ed Borgum, who has been the manager of the
music department of Olds, Wortman & King, of
Portland, Ore., since the organization of the depart-
ment several months ago, has resigned and is suc-
ceeded by J. A. Perry, his first assistant.
Harold Bauer, pianist, and Duo Art and Victor
artist, was presented in concert in Portland, Ore.,
March 26, and was greeted by a large and enthusias-
tic audience. The Duo Art department of Sherman,
clay & Co., and all of the Victor dealers tied up with
the appearance of the artist and the sales of both' the
Duo Art rolls and his Victor recordings were greatly
stimulated according to the dealers.
I. E. Sklare, manager of the Remick Song & Gift
Shop of Portland, Ore., received a request from Nor-
way for a copy of the song, "Every Little Move-
ment Has a Meaning of Its Own." Just why the
request was sent to Portland Mr. Sklare w r as unable
to say, except that possibly the solution of it is that
the song was advertised in the Oregonian years ago
and the paper may have just reached faraway Nor-
way.
The new novelty number, "Rag Doll," composed by
Nacio Herb Brown, is a worthy successor to the
"Doll Dance" by the s*me composer, according to
A. W . Hulten, manager of the sheet music depart-
ment of Sherman, Clay & Co. of Portland, Ore. Both
of these numbers are published by Sherman, Clay &
Co., and Mr. Hulten states that the "Rag Doll" was
advanced to the best seller class immediately upon
being placed on their counter.
