February 1, l917. -- "SIDNEY BOOSTER BAND CONCERT A SUCCESSFUL AFFAIR. Boys of Organization More Than Meet Approval of Big Audience in Renditions Played." (The roster of the Sidney Booster Band:) CORWIN JONES, DIRECTOR COL PULLMAN, LEADER and solo cornet. Carl Adle, solo clarinet Charles Adle, first clarinet picolo Cyril Butcher, solo cornet Edwin Crawford, B-flat bass Thomas Fisher, solo alto Ivan Hiatt, first cornet Tom Howe, first trombone Wallace Hume, first alto Tom Iiams, E-flat bass L. D. Payne, baritone Tom Pullman, solo trombone Clyde Rogers, second cornet C.E. Spratlen, bass drum and traps Merrill White, second trombone Wallace Wyatt, second alto The band concert given at the opera house Tuesday night was a surprise to many people of Sidney who did not so much as know the city had a musical organization of this kind, and it was a great success from a financial point of interest. Mrs. R. S. Tate, proprietor of the opera house, gave the band instructor more than the amount agreed upon as there was a greater attendance than anticipated. This was the first public appearance of the band, and their accomplishment is considered nothing short of remarkable. The selections given at the opera house, in connection with the picture program, were entirely satisfactory, and good harmony was the notable feature of the music. The men have been instructed well, and soon have a band second to none in this part of the country. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
