Two Instrumental Solos Feature Concert
Bv KEN COY
Highlighted by superb solo work and special ensemble numbers, the annual winter program of the Concert band was a tremendous success in Hoch auditorium last night.
Perhaps the most commendable performances in the hour and a half program were an accordion solo by Zora Belle Robertson, and a baritone solo by DeRoy Rogge. Both are fine arts freshmen.
These students scored a hit with the audience and proved themselves to be extremely talented in the mastery of their instruments.
Miss Robertson played "Finlandia," a tone poem by Sibelius, with accompaniment furnished by the band. She answered several curtain calls and played one encore number.
Rogge played "Blue Bells of Scotland" with air and variations by Pryor. He attained a near degree of perfection in the long, difficult runs encountered in the selection. The audience was fascinated by his agility and rapid performance.
Another highlight of the program was the trumpet trio of Victor Weber, engineering sophomore; Dorsey Evans jr., fine arts senior, and Robert Reaster, fine arts freshman.
The trio played "The Dover Coach, Trio for Trumpets" by Vinter. The pleasant selection was made even more enjoyable by special effects produced by the percussion section of the band.
The band played a variety of selections ranging from well-known marches such as "Stars and Stripes Forever," by Sousa, and "Our United States" by Ventre, to semiclassical selections.
"Italian in Algiers Overture" by Rossini was particularly liked by the audience. The slow, tricky tempo of the overture left a "good feeling" in the audience.
In the opening measures of the overture, an audible laugh ran through the auditorium at the extremely joyful composition.
One of the band's best numbers was the well-known "Royal Fireworks Overture" by Handel. With the playing of a selection such as this, the band showed a near professional quality.
Band Director Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, deserves much praise for welding 125 persons into such a well-balanced and competent musical group.

'Dark Town Strutters' Ball Wins Contest With Symphony
Being a good natured fraud, I agree to suffer through an occasional "free" symphony concert in return for being allowed to run the radio at will. It's really a pretty sage agreement on my part. Symphony music doesn't usually come "free."

plenty of room to stretch.
But it did the other night. For two long, tedious hours I sat on a hard chair and tried to look high brow. I fear I didn't carry off the occasion with much aplomb. It's a trifle difficult to look dignifiedly interested when your chin keeps boobbing down to your chest and you're not quite sure but that you might have snored during the last movement.
By intermission time I gave up completely, kicked off my pumps, and slouched into sweet oblivion. From long and bitter experience my spouse has learned to place me in an aisle seat where there will be
So I spent the next hour with my nylon size six's stuck out in the aisle. At first I worried a little about what the ushers might think, but after all, they were standing and could leave at will.
I woke up in time for the last number and helped the rest of the audience aplaud the symphony into two encores. It wasn't that I really wanted to hear any more. I just enjoyed the contrast in sounds.
Frankly, about the only appreciation any symphony ever arouses in me is a deep gratitude when they finally sign off. If there'd been another encore I'd never have squeezed my feet back into those shoes.
