Boys' Band Contest to
Feature Goldman Series
Music Memory Contest and Choral Concert
Also to Be Held During This Summer's Series
The special features of the Goldman Band
concerts to be given at New York University
Campus during the coming Summer include a
band contest (boys' bands), a music memory
contest and a choral concert. These three great
events have been planned on a large scale and
will undoubtedly arouse a great deal of interest.
Edwin Franko Goldman, the conductor and gen-
eral manager of the entire series, has com-
pleted all the details of the season.
The contest for boys' bands will take place
on August 10 and is open to all organizations
within a radius of fifty miles of New York City.
The regulations require that no participant be
more than seventeen years old, and that each
player be a bona fide member of the band for
at least three months before the contest. Each
band may choose a march as its first number,
which is to be followed by the playing of the
"Norma". overture by Bellini, which has been
chosen as the contest piece. After all the bands
have been heard separately, one composition will
be played by the massed bands in conjunction
with the Goldman Band. This number will be
conducted by Mr. Goldman, and it is expected
that he will have 700 or more players under his
direction in this stirring number.
For this contest a special set of rules and
regulations have been printed, as well as regis-
tration forms. There are no charges of any
kind connected with it. Those wishing to take
part are requested to write to Edwin Franko
Goldman, 202 Riverside Drive, New York, at
once for particulars. Five prizes will be
awarded and prominent musicians will act as
judges.
The music memory contest will take place on
August 17. A similar contest last year was one
of the outstanding events of the season, On
Sunday, August 8, the New York University
Summer School Chorus of more than 500 voices
will appear. This chorus consists chiefly of
music teachers and supervisors from all parts
of the United States. It is probable that
Gounod's "Gallia" will be given by the chorus,
accompanied by the band. Dr. Hollis Dann con-
ducts the chorus.
The Goldman Band will again number sixty
musicians and the personnel remains practically
the same as during the past few seasons. A
long list of novelties has been prepared and
rehearsals will soon begin. The grounds, band-
stand and benches are being put in readiness,
and everything possible is being done for the
comfort and convenience of the thousands who
attend these concerts nightly. It is quite pos-
sible that the transit facilities will be increased
this season and negotiations are now in
progress to have additional bus service to the
campus.
