Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 40, Number 2, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 September 1907 — No More Band Concerts. [ARTICLE]

No More Band Concerts.

The Rensselaer band has decided that the weather is now too cool to longer continue the out-door band concerts and there will be no more this season. The band was not organized until after the 4th of July, and it was deoided to get along without employing an outside instructor. Thus, the subscribed money for the concerts coul<l be divided among the players. This proved a very satisfactory plan and caused the members to work harder than they would have done if all the money went to an outside instructor. The music was of a very excellent quality and attracted good crowds. It is quite certain that the organization next year will proceed as it did this year, and with winter practice they should be in excellent shape by the time next year when the weather is warm enough for the out door concerts.
