HURON -PERTH BAND
ASSOGIATIQN MEETS
President E. H. Close Re-
ports • on Progress Dur-
ing Past Season.
The spring" meeting of the Perth-
HuronBantle Association, ahead on
Sunday afternoon in the recreation
room of the Stratford Boys Band,
brought—together - together bandmasters, -and
delegates of. all 'Member bands. These
inelud'e Stratford Boys' Band, Seaforth
Highlanders Band, New Hamburg
Citizens' Band, 'Milverton Red Seal
Banda.and the Clinton Pipe Band. Mr.
E. H. Close, of Seaforth, president of
the association, occupied• the chair.
In his opening address Mr. Close
made partieular reference to the suc-
cess the association bad enjoyed dur-.,
nig the year of operation. • Co-opera-
tion had been 100 per cent by all
member bands and a most gratifying
spirit of good fellowship built up be-
tween them. Before the aasociation
was formed the bands were all more
or less strangers to each other, but
now they are joined together for /the
sole purpose eaf helping, not oaiy each
other, but ---Thr the advancement of
bands and band interest throughout
this district, he said.
Ir. Close ;suggested that the time
wee opportune nto enlarge the mem•,
bersh'ip beyond the six -band limit and
that applications from other bands.
who may be interested in the move-
ment. should be given full considera-
tion, provided they are prepared to
-comply with the rules if the associa•
Pion• as at present constituted. He
Stressed the fact that the association
does not intend to permit any organ-
ization connected:. •..with bands • or
bandsmen to interfere in any wa$'
whatever. with the present set-up. It
is not the policy of the association
to seek aew members. At the same
time it. would welcolne applications•
from any bands qualified and prepar-
ed to enter wholeheartedly into the
work the association is pledged to do.
• A program of massed 'bands was
adopted for use, at tattoos dulling the
coming •season, together with some
other .details 'which, it is hoped, will
co-ordinate the work of the bands at
these functional A committee *as
also appointed to prepare plans for a
monster' picnic. for bandsmen and
their families, to be -held some time
during the summer. Those in charge
promised "this would be an. outs.-•
