A much more prominent part was ‘aken in the opening pageant than in past years by the band. This year the members wore costumes of the decoration motif and had seats near th2 throne of the queen. For a con- tinuous period of one hour and thirty minutes they played as the various episodes of the pageant were presented before the thousands of spectators. For this perfofmance they provoked expressions of appreciation from the directors of the pageant much more complimentary than any previously received. Entertainment of the most extravagant form was given them by the citizens of Fort Worth. As a consequence of their excellent performances and the high class mu- sic which they gave in connecticn with the show this year and in pre- vious years they have been approach- ed by a national rodeo promoter on a proposition to accompany a rodeo company to London, England, this summer, Negotiations have been be- gun by Director Fairleigh and the members of the band are heartily ex- pectant of a successful agreement that will take them across the ocean as a musical organization.
