It was the first appearance in con-! cert here of the First North Dakota band, recently. returned from fiftean months’ service overseas, and the abil-/ ity. shown by the young soldier musi- clans was a revelation. Under the leadership of W. Walter MacDonald, who has been leading military bands for more than twenty years, having conducted a regular army organiza-, tion in the Philippines in 189s, the} band handled with ease such difficult! compositions as _ Luigini’s, Egyptian; ballet, Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite, and a! complicated descriptive number, ‘0- i lumbus,” by Hermann. \ ' When the band, as a finale, rioted| into “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” it recalled Sousa at his best, and m the, lighter numbers, such as “Smiles,” and “Until We Meet Again,” er songs of tne day which were trench favorites over there, an ex- traordinary originality and sympathy were displayed. Liszt’s second Hun- garian rhapsody was done with all the grace of a symphony orchestra, and the band’s handling of Drigo’s “Harle- quin's Serenade,” and Weber's “!nvi- tation to the Valse” was delightfully graceful and airy. A program originally’ planned to oc- cupy an hour and a half was stretch- ed ‘out to two and a quarter, and then the big audience was not satis- fied. The musicians graciously re- sponded .to encore after encore and in their unflagging enthusiasm and vim they showed the efects of é i 1 At the end of the program Director MacDonald put in a well-timed word for the Second regiment band, which starts its tour on Wednesday, modest- ly assuring his audience that {f they wished to hear real music they siould hear the Second.
