Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 241, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1913 — Band Concert Tonight to Be Final For Season. [ARTICLE]

Band Concert Tonight to Be Final For Season.

Tonight’s band concert will be the last of the 1913 season and should be one of the largest attended, as the county teachers’ institute will be adjourned in order that the teachers stay attend the concert. The season has been a very delightful one and large crowds have assembled every Thursday evening. The boys’ band, organized about six years ago, has developed into a splendid musical organization and has probably been the best band Rensselaer has ever had. Much of the credit for this goes to Prof. Otto Braun, the instructor, who took the youths when they did not know one instrument from another and has developed the individual musicians as well as the band as a whole. In compliment to the band the streets should be crowded this evening.
