NV BAND RANKED BESTFITS KD Comprises Nearly Pieces and Is the Pride of the Service. It's not “Navy Yard Band,” but “Navy ‘Band.” This currection of a phrase com- monly heard here is made by naval officers, who are interested in and proud of the big organization of en- listed men stationed at the Washing- ton navy yard, which is to give its first public indoor concert next Mon- day evening at Memorial Continental Hall for the benefit of the Dobbs School building fund. Naval officers stationed here are enthusiastic over the degree of ar- tistic_skill of this band, which has been built up from small beginnings, and are expected to be on hand in large numbers at the concert to ASSOCIATION Pays 6 Per Cent on shares maturing in 45 or 83 months. It Pays 4 Per Cent on shares withdrawn be- fore maturity Assets Nearing performers, because the continued existence of the band depends di- rectly and almost entirely onm the public’s appreciation of its efforts to please. A number of them, with wide opportunities for hearing service bands, unhesitatingly claim that it is the best of its kind in the United States; certainly, with its nearly sixty pieces, it is by far the largest service band here or elsewhere, with the exception of the United States Marine Band, the West Point Band and possibly one or two others. Componed of Enlisted Men. Some people have had the idea that $7,000,000 it is composed of mechanics and other & L skilled craftsmen empliuyxed ‘; the navy yard, who, for artistic and sen- Sarplus More Than timental effect, don the open-throated shirt and rolling collar of the sailor $600,000 When scheduled to play. As a matter of fact, it is a Navy band, composed of regularly enlisted men stationed at the yard, its nucleus having been the old band of the presidential yacht Mayflower. When that craft goes to sea, by the way, the band is split into two sections, and one, of appro- priate size, makes the voyage. Corner 11th and E Sts. N.W. ular, Navy band, attached to the sta- tion, its existence is provided for by no regulation, and were its activitjes to meet with the disapproval of the commandant of the yard, a tontin- gency little likely to happen, it could be put out of existence and its per- sonnel put on other work. The growth and improvement of the band is due to two factions: the in- terest of naval officers and the hard work of Charles Benter, the band- master, who has served on several ships ‘and at several stations. When the leader uncovers a man with mu- sical ability, he immediately procures him for the organization. He even goes further, and when he needs a player for a certain instrument, he hunts up some “gob” with latent mu- sical talent and trains him until he is worthy of a place. Breught From Other Stations. Benter's superiors in the bureau of navigation here have become so in- terested in the band’'s progress that they strive to improve its personnel by picking good musicians at stations here and there throughout the coun- ‘{try and transferring them to the Na- tional Capital, where their abilities can better be utilized. Only a few days ago it was learned that at the New Orleans yard there was a bas- soon player. This is a rare and rather difficult instrument. The local band had onme bassoonist, but for proper balanced effects needed two, and the arfist specializing in the big “wood- tures of its concerts is a saxophone quintet which is as adaptable to the classics as it is to “jazz.” Less than a year ago the band did not appear in wind” is ngw on his way here. your The Nav¥ Band can “double in strings,” thus becoming an able sym- phony or dance orchestra. as those can testify who have danced to its strains at various big balls here the past two winters.
