bands of this city have agreed to eliminate the
jazz numbers from concert programs. More
than one hundred musicians favored the adop-
tion of classical music, believing it would con-
tribute educational value along with entertain-
ment. It was agreed, however, that concert pro-
grams will continue to require variety and that
classical numbers will be interspersed with popu-
lar, patriotic and religious compositions.
