HUNDREDS TO SING IN OPEN AIR Committee is ApiHtintcd to Work Out l'lun anil Kvenl.' May Re Ar ranged for Carnival Would lie (ireat Attraction. riaus for a big "community sing" in which hundreds of local voices will take part , either as an attraction for the Strawberry Carnival or as a separate event, are believed to have been started at last night's meeting of the Uoscburg Musical Society at tho homo of Mr. and Mrs. H. Jay Stone, on East Cass street, when it was practically decided to undertake the organization and management of the monster chorus. Tlie matter had not been discussed outside the circlo of the club's mem bers until today, and as yet little ban been done to ascertain the feeling of tho public. It la believed, however, that the proposition will be well re ceived In all quarters and that all assistance will bo given wherever possible. The asssembly of singers would probably be stationed on a large platform in the court yard or other public place and tho program would he reudered In the open air, constituting a spectacle of great I beauty ns well as providing one ot the largest outdoor choirs ever heard In this part of the state. The per formances of similar choruses have proven wonderful attractions In many of tlie larger cities and singing of HUH kind when rendered with volume is said to be tho most beau tiful that can be. heard. By secur ing tho co-operation of churches, schools and other organizations it is believed easily possible to produco such a festival. While the matter was thoroughly discussed last evening, more definite investigation as to the feasibility of the scheme will be made during .the next few days by a committee to he appointed by Mrs. H. M. Hrumfield, president, of the club, and Miss Jose phine Moorhead, who Is head of the music department In the public schools. It Is from the latter that the plan emanated, and Miss Moor head will probably have mueh to do with the organization. A director will be selected following the ar rangement of preliminaries. " Should the event be undertaken, practices will be held frequently at the local churches In connection with their choir rehearsals and on account of the size of the entire chorus these divisions will probably work epar alely. Just prior lo the event prac tices will then bo united and take place out of doors. Another interesting feature of tho "sing" on which the committee will work will bo the organization of a monster orchestra for the accom paniment. The various bands and orchestras of the city will doubtless be united. The songs will include patriotic numbers with the main ft at ores probably selections from well known operas. Other details have yet to be arranged. M ItKI i :i iikiu: TODAY. Lewis K.
