Open Air Concert.
In the Armory Park last Fri
day night the Perry Cornet Baud
made its first public appearance
as a music making association.
Seats had been arranged “out
doors” on the south side of the
armory building, and there a large
number of Perry people, and a
few from the country, assembled
in response to the invitation to
attend a free concert.
The armory hall and the band
stand were brightly illumminated,
and there was only a short wait.
Under the leadership of Mr. E.
K. Braselton, an expert cornetist,
the band rendered in succession
about a dozen excellent selec
tions.
All present declared the music
very good indeed, without com
parison.
The harmony, and expression
was decidedly pleasing, and each
piece was accorded liberal ap
plause.
While the volume and expres
sion was not equal to that of ex
pert performers, the concert was
exceptionally good for young men
who didn’t know anything about
a horn four months ago.
The band was organized Maro h
81st, 1902, and the first practice
was on May 1st, 1902> First con
cert August 8th, 1902.
The band oonsists of the follow
ing young men.
