night in Guion Hall with the presentation of its aipua
concert. \ 4
Strutting their stuff before a highly ipp
audience, the boys! presented a very4 ——— 111 -"1 1
attractive parcel! of melody and
eteial
rhythm entirely devoid of strings
Working under the able baton of
band director Lt. .Col. E. V. Adams
the bahd presented classical, novel
ty, and all-time! favorite popular
songs as well as the four-four time
rhythm with which it is usually
associated.
Drum soloist J. O. Williams gave
what was probably the most sur
prising performance of the night
when he demonstrated to a some
what astonished audience the rela
tively unknown fact that a well-
handled snare-drum can produce
music on its own right. The tone
was “Downfall of Paris,” a num
ber which contaihed enough varia
tion in tempo to allow Williams to
demonstrate his nimble wrists and
good timing to the best advan
tage. • J |. /
A cornet trio by Gene Boyn
ton, Frank Albrecht, and Wayne
Dnnlap played the appropriately
named ‘Triplets of the Finest.”
Remaining soloist of the night
was organist 'pommy I Roxburgh j
who made his contribution in the
playing of the;hymn "The Har
vest of the Saa, a portion of
the four-part Manx tone-poem^
“Mannin Veen;*
In the martial vein, the group
got off to a fast start with the
opening tune, ] “March Heroic”
"Commandante,” the march which
led-off the sccdnd portion of the
show, was stirring enough but
failed to approabh the encore reh-
dition of John Rhillip Sousa’s fa
miliar favorite,; Stars and Stripes

Under the novelty classification
came “Dizzy Fiiigers” and the well
known “Alouottiaj” n light French
tuno which contained unmistakable
bars from “Mademoiselle from Ar-
mentlerea."
The program jgot underway with
a half-filled hoi|se, but lutc-comers
swelled attendahee until almost all
of the ground floor seats had beep
taken. The program was free.

It was music in the mellow man
ner Saturday night as Wayne
King, “The Waltz King,” ran the
gamut in providing pleasant lis
tening for the crowds which filled
Guion Hall for his two concerts.
Displaying the style that has
kept him near the top With music
lovers for 23 years, the saxaphone-
playing maestro mixed the three-
quarter music that has made and
maintained his fame with a varie
ty of tunes ranging from semi
classics through the recently-re
vived “Goofus.”
• Accent for the night was on
youth which was typified by the
various soloists, trios, quartets, and
choral groups who handled the
vocal end of the night’s chores.
In keeping with the custom
around these parts, the eye
pleasing female vocalist drew the
biggest response from the def
initely partial audience. The
songstress, Nancy Evans by
name, didn’t have to rely on her
beauty however, to score a suc
cess with numbers like “Far
Away Places*’ and “Clrlbiribin.”
The talented young radio and
television star displayed a voice
range whidt, coupled with a charm
ing smile and style, would have
probably gone over quite as well
with an all-girl audience,
j Male singing star for the night
was Fred Kendall, a product of
the North Texas State College mu
sic department He put his talents
to work in rendition* of “All the
Things You Are,” “Donkey Sere
nade?’ and “Kentucky Babe,” to
natne a few. . | V ■
Best novelty tune of the night
Avas, the “Pussycat Song” done by
a mixed-quartet bearing the title
“Double Daters." A girl trio, “The
Meadowlarks,” made their bid in
the form of the currently popular
"Lavender Blut.”
A slight departure from the
over-all mooq of the program
featured Jeaii Richards at the
piano playing the “Warsaw Con
certo.” Miss ; Richards also ac
companied Diick Den Breeder as
he sang "Thoire Was Moonlight
in Her Hair ” Both Breeder and
Miss Richards were members of
one of the sihging groups.
His balding [majesty, King him
self took his ! familiar saxophone
in hand for k number of songs
including ‘Trees” and “Song of
India.” Not quite so good but just
as acceptable to the friendly audi
ence were “I jWonder Who’s Kiss
ing Her Now” and “Lonesome, I
Guess That’s All” at which he tried
his own vocall talents.
King’s alntost constant clown
ing plus his Sincere voice put ev
eryone at easq from curtain to cur
tain of the jtwo-hour show. His
predominantly stringed, . 16-piece
orchestra offered a decided con
trast to the Aggie band whose Fri
day night concert preceded Kings’
appearance. [ §/* '
In the IM of walties the pro
gram offered little more than
“The Blue Danube” and King'*
familiar theme, “The Walts You
Saved For Me.” Semi-classics
and ballad* were plentiful,
though, sad; this group includ
yr
- XH,
theme
or Mi
lad*
though, and; this group included
“Loch LomOnd," “Bells of St.
Mary's," and Begin tho Be-
gulno.”
Other contributions to the show,
came from hi-male chorus, a mix
ed chorus, ahd a trombone solo.
The program, aimed at pleasing
“the family group,” seemed to
have scored ^ direct hit with most
of the Guion Hall fana, proving
again the success of music that
makes and brings back memories.

oaed that Congress appropri-

rent on to say' however, that

,He | emphasized that the feeling

Veijnment would| not meet with
