Trumphet Corps Will
Put A. and HC. on Par
With West Point Band
The military band of the A. and
M. College of Texas which has long
been recognized as one of the best
musical organizations in the South
is to have added to it a trumpet
corps which will place it on a par
with the famous West Point musical
organization recognized as the best
in the nation.
The college has purchased twenty-
four of the French style trumpets
and the trumpet corps is being or-
ganized. The trumpets are long brass
instruments and attached to each one
is an A. and M. banner.
The A. and M. band now has 63
members and the addition of the
trumpet corps will give a total per-
sonnel of 87.
The addition of the trumpets to
the band will enable the cadet corps
to make a much better show in par-
ades and reviews and the part that
the band has always played as the
various exhibitions made at athletie
contests and on other occasions will
ta greatly enlarged.
Mr. Fairleigh, director of the band
is experienced in the direction of a
trumpet corps having had such an
j organization as a part of his com-
imand in the Third Infantry regi-
ment.
A trumpet corps is a part of all
large French musical bands and all
men who served overseas are famil-
iar with them.
