WKHXKSIIAY, MAItlil IS, lllli! No. 100 1 ANOTHER BID Was Organized in Roseburg Tuesday Night. C W. CLINCENPEEL IS LEADtR Hand Is Composed Of KiKhtecn MuiiiIkts lYaotico Is jU rUimed Under Efficient Leaders) Up. The Roseburg Commercial Club Band resumed practice yesterday evening under the directorship of G. W. Clingenpeel, an accomplish ed cornetist. There were eighteen members present, and if the music last night Is any indication, Roseburg will have the best band in Its his tory this year. The Instrumentation is well balanced, and the addition of two really good solo cornet players has strengthened the band material ly. Several of the high Bchool boys have become members of the band, and through the benefit of practice with the older musicians, will doubt less soon become prollclent band men. A second rehearsal will be held Thursday evening of this week, and hereafter the regular weekly practice will be on Friday evenings. The city council very courteously permits the boys to use the council chamber us a place to practice. As a rule boys (old and young) play In the band simply for the pleas ure oT playing, as outsido of profes sional circles there Is not enough pay connected with It to pay interest on the amount invested in instru ments and music. However, this is campaign year, and the band may make a few nickels on the side when the campaign warms up. as there ! probably wilt be something doing in j politics, and everybody knows that j a good band helps as much in a successful campaign as anyone Item.; The Commercial Club Hand Is pre- j pared on short notice to furnish mu sic at any time, and will very soon begin a series of out door concerts, if plans don't miscarry, expecting the support of the people of Roseburg and vicinity if deserving. Mr. L. B. Moore is manager of the band, and is authority for the statement that the present organization is the best yet. A good band is an institution found in most enterprising commu nities, and Roseburg is to be con- j gratulated that the present organ!-j zation measures up to the high standard found throughout the city. If the business Arms' that employ band men will be a little generous and grant a little leniency to the players, the Roseburg Commercial Club Band can furnish music on all occasions where first class band music is desired.
