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.
