Sinton.
• When a town the size of Sinton can
boast of such a band as is rarely main-
tained in a town its size, and such a
band as is rare, in even much larger
towns, that town assuredly owes it
to its band to provide a proper place
for public concerts which the people
at large may enjoy.
When you pass through a town and
you see a nice band stand located in
a prominent and convenient spot, at
once you say, “That town has a good
band and appreciates it. It has built
the band boys the proper kind of
stand for their open air concerts.”
“Build it just for pride’s sake?” yoif
■ask. Yes, why not? You are doing
things all the time for pride’s sake.
But also for other reasons. A band
can play better music in a properly
constructed band stand than in the
open air. If you don’t believe it, ask
one of the band boys. Another thing,
when you hear there is to be a band
concert, you know exactly where it
Will be played. You get the habit of
going to the band stand, and feeling
that it belongs to the boys and to you,
because you helped put it there. It
p gets to be a “landmark” as it were,
and you instruct strangers to "go two
blocks north of the band stand,” etc.,
to find locations they are inquiring
‘‘Come while the band is playing,
Come while the hounds are baying
Every heart should be joyful
When the band begins to play.
Bounding our hearts with gladness
Driving away all sadness—
Oh for the band!
Hurrah for the band!
Now the band we hear,
It fills . our hearts with love and
cheer, -
What can be more grand
Than music from the Sinton Band! ”
