Favorable comment was heard on
the selection and technique of the
music and also the fine morale of
the band.
Dr. Polling of Corvallis says of
the Irrigon Band: "Often have
heard larger bands backed by great
er resources, but nowhere have
heard a high school band play higher
class music, or give that music finer
interpretation.”
