SUE EDINGTON RECEIVES AWARD FROM REV. BILL DOUGLAS
. . . One of three trophies received by Crow* Plains Buffalo Band
Festival Officials
Express Thanks
James Mallow, local director of bands, termed
the 17th Annual Heart O’ Texas Hand Festival one
of the best ever.
“We wish to thank the citizens of Brady, the
Brady Public Schools, the merchants, the Brady
Band Boosters and all of the individuals who helped
us make the festival a success,” he said.
“It would take days to write personal letters
to all who contributed to our festival, and therefore
may we take this opportunity to publicly say ‘Thank
you.’
“We at the Rrady Schools know that the festi-
val contributes many educational features to our
own bands. They seem to work a little harder to
be as good or better than the visiting bands. Al-
though they are the host bands and do not com-
pete, they seem to gain a great deal from perform-
ing with the other groups.
“We feel that any worthwhile activity that
brings 1500-1600 visitors to our city is good for
the community.”
Mrs. Mercer Slaughter, Band Housing Chair-
man, said: “We wish to thank each family that
kept band students in their homes overnight. It
would not be possible for some bands to come if
we could not provide this. We know that each
student housed will always remember Brady as a
city of friendly people.”
The Cross Plains High School
band carried off three of the
top trophies in the Heart o’
Texas Band Festival last week-
end. They wonlthe marching con-
test Friday evening and took
honors in both sight reading
and concert playing in ('lass A.
Fredericksburg High School
Band won the coveted street
parade trophy Saturday after-
noon in the huge parade around
the Brady plaza. Other win-
ners were:
CLASS AAA — lakeview
High School sight reading and
concert.
CLASS AA-CCC -- Lincoln
Junior High (Abilene) eight
reading and concert.
CLASS B-C—Blanco High
School, sight reading; Freder-
icksburg Junior High, concert.
FREDERICKSBURG BANDS EACH GET TROPHY

Only a rhilled three or
four hundred were in the
stands Friday night to wit-
ness the marching content
at Bulldog Stadium. Olton
High, Breckrnridge High,
and Groan Plains High
were the only bands to
compete.
Menard was unable to be here
Friday night. The two Brady
bands, the famed Brady Bull-
dog Marching Band and the
Junior High Lion Band, per-
formed for the hardy en-
thusiasts in the stands.
The Rev. William Douglas,
president of the Band Boosters
Club, presented the marching
trophy to Drum Major Sue
Edington of Cross Plains. The
Stinnett hand from about 600
miles north, in the Panhandle,
had intended to compete Friday
but cold weather and snow had
hampered the marching prac-
tice so the hand withdrew from
marching cum petition. They
were introduced and played a
number "to let you know we
are here.”

A large crowd braved the
cutting wind Saturday after-
noon to watch the 19 bands
parade around the square and
assemble for the mass concert.
Presentation of trophies to re-
presentatives from the winning
hands brought great roars of
cheers from the crowd.
When the Fredericksburg
High School hand waa an-
nounced as winner of the
street parade such a roar
arose that Supt. C. A. Rey-
nolds, who presented the
trophies said, "I believe the
whole town of Fredericks-
burg must have accompan-
ied the hard here.”
All day long, as the hands
played their concert competi-
tion numbers, the high school
j auditorium was jammed with
i visiting band members and par-
ents as well as other interest-
j ed persons.
"This is the best festival we
have had since I have been
here,” commented Brady band
director James Mallow. "Every-
thing went off well and the
competition among bands and
students was real fine. We are
indebted to the people of Brady
for their help and to the mer-
chants and others for their sup-
port.”
