Will Be Held
Here April 5th
The Southern Oregon College,
Ashland, March 28—The south­
ern Oregon unnual Music Com­
petition Festival sponsored by
the Southern Oregon College will
be held Friday, April 5, activi­
ties running through the day
from 9 a m. to 10 p.m. A tentative
program for the event was plan­
ned by members of the executive
committee which met recently
with Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson of
the Southern Oregon College: I.
A. Mirick director of intrumental
music in the Medford schools;
Jack W. Francis .director of in-,
strumental music in the Ashland
schools; and Wallace Sapp ,in
charge of music in the Southern
Oregon College. The committee
tabulated classifications for the
participating schools and an­
nounced the following towns wil
be represented by one or more
musical activity, including band,
orchestra glee club, vocal and in­
strumental solos, and ensembles:
Klamath Fulls Medford, Marsh­
field, Coos River, Grants Pass,
Lakeview Rogue River, Roseburg
and Coquille.
The meet was originally plan­
ned for two days, Friday and
Saturday ,but because of the
housing situation the committee
stated that they had spent a good
deal of time devising a schedule
that could be run off in one day
so that few participants would be
obliged to stay ovvernight. The
Festival, which is being revived
after having been discontinued
because of war-time restrictions
on travel, promises to reussume
its old-time color and interest, ac­
cording to the committee in
charge.
