The band was given this rating in both playing and marching. The judges show the; band's strong points to be its uppeur- ance, sincerity, discipline, and serious endeavor on the part of its individual players; its weak points to be instrumentation and intonation, according to Millanl Cloys, director. Following are the general comments of the judges: "Ynur band shows careful training," said Mr. Hdward Meltzer, of Chicago, "and serious endeavor on the part of the players. But you need more woodwind instruments, more clarinets, more low and color woodwinds, and more horns.

Keep trying to improve in these two ways: (I.) Enlarge your instrumentation; and (2) Play just UK beautifully, individually and collectively, as possible. Intonation (playing in tune) is now your greatest handicap." Mr. Dean Shank, Mexia bandmaster, was another of the judges and his comments agree somewhat with Mr. Meltzer's: "1 think you are on the road to building a fine band. Get the proper equipment and get your youngsters to working enough to correct this faulty intonation.

I believe that within a year or so you will have an outstanding class band." Major R. J. Dunn, bandmaster at A. and M. Collage, saw intonation, al- an outstanding fault, and orn thorough training in breath control and phrasing.

"1 consider that work on compositions like your number Joy of would improve this barn! greatly." Maurine. Owen, of Austin High School Music Department, judged sight reading, and recommended the band for Division III. "Fair sight reading," she said. "The reeds seemed fairly secure. Brasses were weak.

Need more practice in sight reading." The marching event revealed that the band's points are playing and appearance; its weak points precision, alignment, and cadence, or adherence to a set tempo without variation of rhythm.
