Downsville to Have Brass Band--First Rehearsal Tuesday Night 82 Members: Edes is Director
With twenty-two of its thirty two members present and Earl L. Edes on the director’s stand, Downsville’s new band held its first rehearsal Tuesday evening. With the remaining instruments to be delivered this week, it is expected that all of the members of the organization will be present at the next rehearsal Monday evening.
Miss Mabelle Smith and Miss Janet Jensen put the Downsville band in a class by itself as the only one having women members in the territory. It is expected that others will follow the lead of the pioneers.
