Switzerland and France. The group will return July 24. Although the School Band of America is on a goodwill tour during which its 75 members hope to exchange ideas with their counter- pai-ts in Europe, each is paying his or her way or having paid by a sponsoring gi-oup in this country. Tlie project was first considered in 1951 by Edwai'd T. Ham, co- oi-dinator of music education for the Bloomington schools.

Ham says he mulled over die idea until 1959, when he took a trip to Europe and asked music teachers tliere how they felt about a tour by an American student bajid. TheU' enthusiasm, he said, sent him back determined to promote a trip. In October 1960 details of the fortlicomlng tour were spelled out in a nationally circulated must cians' magazine and within 30 days, Ham said, some 250 youthful musicians had applied. Audition centers conducted by music teachei-s were set up in Massachusetts, Ohio, California and in Bloomington. Applicants who could not attend the auditions submitted tape recordings and chaj'acter references.

From the 2,30 applicants, Harn selected the 75, Harn said he obtained endorsement of President Jolin F. Ken nedy's People-to-People Music Committee but turned down a proposed government grant of $70,000 to aid the project. Each band member paid 755 to cover costs of the four-week trip. Wliere a member was unable to pay the trip cost, a group in his home community underwrote the expenses. To meet the cost of orchestrations, instruments and other equipment.

Ham said he called on old fi-iends and associates. They soread the word, he said, and spread the word, he said, and soon manufacturers and musical instruments and music publishers swamped him with otfers. One firm loaned the band four $800 bass horns and 11 350 cor nets; another firm supplied tlie percussion instruments; music stands came fi-om a third firm; the tJ.S. loaned arrangements of the national anthems of countiies the band will visit; a publishing company gave Harn some dance band arrangements. Via chartered flight, the band, Harn, three assistant directors and 13 chaperons fly to England to begin three days of reharsals at Ramsgate.

the band plays its first concert July 2 at ictoria Embankment Gardens in London, its second the next day at Stratford- On-Acon. Other concerts wDl be in Bms- sels, Belgium July Ostend, Belgium July Cologne, Ger many July Heidelberg, Germany July 10; Noumberg, Ger many July 12; Luceme, Switzerland, July 15; and Lausanne, Switzerland, July 18.

He re- celvedhls Master's degree Southern Illinois University at iCarbondale. Illinois musicians in the band include: Mai-y Finnigan.
