The increase in school bands throughout the coun-
try is convincingly shown by the number of school
band contests scheduled for 1928. Twenty-five states
have announced contests in addition to four other
states which have declared plans to hold district
or partial state contests. Before the close of the year
a total of 41 district band contests will be held in
these states, and a sectional contest held in New
England.
Musical Truth, published by C. G. Conn, Ltd.,
Elkhart, Ind., has printed the interesting figures and
says:
This number shows the great and increasing inter-
est being take in school music and in school band con-
DBTATL OF DESIGN ON SCHOOL BOARD TROPHY.
This increase in entries for the national contest is
expected to come not only from among Class A bands
but especially from among Class B bands.
"Aside from the number of bands participating in
this contest, the fine musicianship of these players is
a subject of much comment. These youngsters play
with polish, precision and interpretation that would do
credit to most professional organizations. Present
day school music and these contests are developing
some of the finest musicians in the country. From
among these players will come our great artists, direc-
tors and composers."
In addition to the National School Band contest
held at Joliet, 111., May 24 to 26 and which was won
by the Joliet High School Band, the following states
and sections of states held contests of school bands:
Northern California, Eastern Colorado (Rocky
