Band To Take
Part In Festival
In San Marcos
The Bastrop High School Band
will go to San Marcos either on
Thursday, March or Friday,
March 27, to take part in the
Region VI Univer ity Interscho-
lastic League Musi< Competition
Festival. The Band is classed
a* a class B organ.'.ation under
1'IL classification -ystcm, and
will compete in both the concert
and sight reading events. The
bands will compet. for a divi-
sion rating instead of a fir.it, se
cond or third place, as is tin-
ease in most athleti. contests of
this nature.
The concert evert is, a test of
musical perfection during which
a band performs a warm-up
march and two concert selections
chosen from a list prepared by
the C1L. Three judges listen to
the band and rati it Division I.
II, III, IN", or V. Division I is
given for the fees" conceivable
perfo tance for the event
and the class of partici
pants being judged; Division II
for an unusual performance but
not worthy of the highest due
to minor defects in performance
of ineffective interpretation;
Division III for a good perfor
rnance; Division IV for an aver-
age performance and Division V
is uswn when there is much room
for improvement.
The sight reading event, which
is required of all bands enter
ing the concert event, is a test
of music reading. The students
are given two minutes to study
a march and an overture that
they have never played before
and then perform them in the
best manner they can. The band
is then judged as in the concert
event.
This year, in addition to the
band entry, the following solo
ist,- and small e -sembels are en-
tering the contest events: La
verne Martin. Linda Moncure,
Jackie Hemphill and Charlotte
Scott are each playing a clari
net solo; Kay Gore, alto saxo-
phone solo; Ixma Crosby, trom-
bone -olo; Pat Hoffman, cornet
solo. Also entered are a flute
quartet, consi.-ti; g of Sue Smith,
Beverly An -chut/,, F.mily Colvin,
and Marilee Spooner; a clarinet
tri<« consisting f Laveme Mar-
tin. Linda Moncure and Gladys
Ott; and a clarinet trio, consist
inm of Jackie Hemphill, L. C.
Smith and Margaret Pfeifft r.
Billie Frank Laake, Barbara W'il
*<m and Klloui-e Spencer are
each entered in the solo twirling
event, and form a trio in the en
semblc twirling event.
The Hand is under the direction
of Jim Pierce.

Ditch Cutting
Necessary For
Good Drainage
In order to obtain the best
I possible drainage and protect the
paving when the streets are wid-
ened and re paved, it will be ne-
cessary for some ditches in town
to be cut, according to J. V. Ash,
Sr., mayor.
Without the ditch cutting, the
streets cannot possibly be satis-
factorily drained and standing
j water would only cause deterio-
I ration of the pavement.
The additional cost of pave-
! merit to property owners quoted
| in last week's paper as .'17 cents
j a cubic foot, should have been 37
i cents a square foot.
CARD OF THANKS
To my very dear friends in
Bastrop 1 want to express my
most heartfelt thanks for the
many flowers, cards, and kind
words accorded me since my eye
operation last week.
They meant more to me than
I can express, at a time when 1
needed them most.
