BE DISCUSSED
BY MR. WESSON
The Nineteenth Annual Music Week
was ushered in auspiciously last eve-
ning, when one of the largest audien-
ces of the season assembled at the
Methodist Church to hear the beauti-
ful concert contributed by out-of-town
and local artists. The participation
of all the churches of the city by a
mass attendance at these annual sac-
red concerts is a homage to music,
which in Its divine origin the tonal
art rightly deserves.
\ The dedication of the entire music
week programs to the Sesqulcenten-
nial of the United States Constitution
was a timely thought on the part of
tthe committee and in keeping with
President Roosevelt's proclamation
that public recognition be made of it.
Lovely baskets of early summer
"blossoms In profusion placed about
the rostrum provided a suitable set-
ting for the occasion and in full rap-
port with the beautiful program given
which was listened to with rapt at-
tention.
Mrs. Robert Footer opened the pro-
gram with an organ number, playing
"Jubilate Deo” by Silver, with fine
spirit and interpretation. This was
followed by the invocation pronounced
by Rev. W. A. Bowen of the First
Baptist Church.
A talk on "The Significance of Mu-
sic Week” by Rev. H. N. Cunning-
ham of the First Presbyterian-Church,
paid a high tribute to music. Extoll-
ing the many benefits of music, he
said in part:
“Music Wook has always found a
warm spot in my heart. More so to-
day, as I have learned that Navasota
was the first city in Texas to observe
National Music Week and that Mias
Julia D. Owen, one of our own citi-
sens, was the sponsor.
“It was 1* years ago when Miss Julia
first cailad together lovers of music
in our city, So great was the Joy
and inspiration wo have not miesed
a single year in our obeervaaoe of

National Contest
To win a place in the National Band
contest, to be held in Abilene, is the
highest honor any group can win. Un-
til two years ago only one National
contest was held in the United States,
but due to the extreme difficulty and
expense in transporting such l^rge
bodies of students to the contest, at
that time the nation was divided intp
six divisions. The grouping was
made geographically, rather than by
the number of bands in any section
The contest to be held in Abilene is
for the sixth region.
Exprwa Appreciation
The local band left Navasota about
eight o'clock Friday morning, fifty-
two members going. Making the trip
with the group were Mesdames J, P. ,
Terrell. R. H. Meekins,' John D.
Quinn, Jr., J. T. Swanson, Claude
Gunn. C. A. Tribble. Mr and Mrs. C.
M. Russell. Mr. and Mrs. Crapp, Mi
and Mrs. M. E. Boone, and Richard
Doan. The Chamber of Commerce
provided the funds to pay for the trip,
and the members of the band wish to
express their sincere appreciation for
this interest shown by that group.
Immediately after their arrival in
Waco they were served lunch at the
Baylor Memorial dormitory. At 1:30
they assembled at the Cotton Palace
stadium, where the contest in march-
ing was held. Homes were assigned
at the completion of the contest, and
at 5:00 p. m. a parade was held in
downtown Waco. the forty-seven
pands taking part. Friday night the
Class A and Class B bands marched.
Saturday morning the group again
met at the Cotton Palace at 9 o'clock
and at 10 a. m. the Navasota Band
took part in the Concert Performance
contest. At the completion of this
the group was free for the rest of the
morning, and most of this time was
spent in listening to the A Class bands
give their numbers. The party return-
ed to Navasota Saturday evening.
In judging the various musical
numbers each judge was given a con-
ductor's score of the number being
played, with each measure being num-
bered, and their comments were then
based largely on the measures where
mistakes occurred.

The best grade ever made in the
sight-reading division was also given
the Navasota Band thia year, that of
the tint division. In commenting on
the sight-reading ability of |he Band,
one of the judges said. "It is a good,
well-balanced band, aad they make a
fine showing. The brasses and percus-
sions are especially good.”
Another comment made by one of
the judges was "The Band is nicely
tnotrumentated. only needs a few snore

forananoe shows careful training and
serious endeavor on the pari of the
playore. But keep working along the
