BAND CONTEST
te aroha fixture LOCAL BOY'S SUCCESS Eleven bands competed in the South Auckland Band contest at Te Aroha, during the Easter week-end. The standard according to critical observers was consistently high and earned well-merited applause from the large assemblage of spectators who gathered in the town Domain. Whaltatane received its share of the honours, the adjudicator Captain F. W. G. McLeod, affording warm; praise for the work of Bandsman Ken Jarrett who came third in the open solos, and to the juvenile prodigy Bandsman Len Broadmore who came first in the open and Boys* events. In his remarks on Bandsman Broad more's work in the latter event the adjudicator entered, 'Well played; another artist here without a doubt, theme —beautiful, finale — a great piece of work,, especially for a boy. Capital!' His marks for this event were 95 —the highest individual award in the contest. His teacher, IVIr H. Mayo of Whakatane, is justly proud of his pupil's work.
