Boys Will Give First Concert On Wednesday Evening, Mar. 30th.

Prof. Braun is getting along nicely with his boys’ band and has arranged to give a concert at the opera house on Wednesday evening, March 30th. This will be the first time the boys have asked for any assistance from the public since the contribution was taken up for the purchase of band in struments. The boys will be around soon to ask you to buy tickets and you should help them out. They are now taking two lessons each week instead of one as previously. The progress has been very satisfactory, even the beginners having developed until they can play several pieces without error. From all indications Rensselaer will have a very good band for the summer concert season and as all are young fellows, their employment will not seriously Interfere with their band engagements. Don’t fail to buy a concert ticket and help start them out on the right basis.
