BAND CONTEST RULES
National Bureau for the Advancement of Music
Announces Regulations for the State
National Events for 1929.
Regulations for state and national school band con-
tests to be held in 1929 under auspices of the Com-
mittee on Instrumental Affairs of the Music Super-
visors' National Conference have been announced by
the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music
Band contests in both state and national events will
be open to five classes, instead of four, as heretofore.
The first four classes will consist of bands in high
schools and other public and private institutions with
(A) an enrollment of more than 600; (B) an enroll-
ment of from 250 to 600; (C) enrollment of less than
250: (D) bands organized less than a year. The
fifth class will be composed of bands in junior high
and grammar schools. Only bands in classes A and
B will be eligible to compete in the national contest
which will be held in Denver next May 23-25, but
bands from other classes may participate but will
have to play class A and B music.
Closing Date March 1.
The closing date for entries in state contests has
been set for March 1, and the committee will award
prizes in states with a minimum of three entries.
State trophies will be awarded the winners of first
places in Class A in each state, and the winners of
first and second places in the first two classes in state
contests will be eligible to compete in the national
con-test.
The school band movement, the report states, has
had a remarkable growth since 1924, when the first
state contests were held under the auspices, or with
the cooperation of the committee. The committee
has as its ideal the development of the concert or
symphony bands in schools and has as members of
its advisory board some of the foremost bandmasters
in the country whose organizations are along this
line. The purposes of the national contests, as stated
by the committee, are: to give a chance to the best
school bands in the country to meet and compare
their musical abilities; to extend an opportunity to
participate to those bands in whose states no contest
has been held; and to bring to the attention of the
country in a striking manner the development of
school bands.
That the teaching personnel of the schools is in
sympathy with the movement was shown by the
action of the department of superintendence at the
1927 convention of the National Education Associa-
tion in recommending that music "be given every-
where equal consideration and support with the other
basic subjects."
