THE LEON BOYS BAND
We are plfeased to present this week the Hcture of the Leon Boys Band, which under the able in
struction of Prof. Ole ThonTpson, are givng the popular Saturday night band-concerts at Leon this season. This
band was organized less th&n a year ago, at which time with the exception of one or two members none of
the boys had ever had any experience with a musical instrument, but they are now playing splendid music,
and much of it is high grade. The boyshave worked faithfully in their practice, and it would be hard to
get a better instructor than Prof. Thompson. The citizens of Leon are justly proud of the boys band, and
they are giving it their liberal support. The'big ci'dwds which come out every Saturday night to attend
the band concert testifes that the music is appreciated by the public, and many Compliments are heard from
strangers at every concert.
The band consists of twenty-nine boys, the members with their instrumentation being as follows:
Tuba—Clifford Billington.
Baritones—Vernon Thompson, Holtan Mills.
Trombones—Edgar Hansell, Marion Hamilton, William Alley, S eve Smith.
AJlto—Frank Coleman.
Saxaphones—Edgar Bell, Homer Fletcher, Marion Mcintosh.
Cornets—Walter Officer, Leslie Andrew, Virgil Cherrington, Clifford Pickering, Marion Osborn,
Clarinets—Ronald Thompson, Amzy Hull, Gerald Swisher, Lyman Yost, Max Kopp, Paul Campbell.
Piccola—'Francis Cherrington.
Drums—Leon Benefiel, Marion Grimes, Jack Ferren, Everett Randolph.
