EMDEN’S BAND
CONCERT AT ALBERT PARK DURING NOON HOUR For tile first time since the war. and many years before it, German brass band music resounded over Albert Park this afternoon. Fully 3,000 people, the majority city workers whTlmg away their lunch hour in the sunshine, were packed round the grandstand and listened appreciatively to the concert given by the band of the German cruiser Emdeu. The band numbered 15 instrumentalists. The music was softer in tone than the brass music, to which Aucklanders are familiar, due no doubt to the number of ree-d instruments. Particular interest was manifested in the military precision with which the trumpeters flourished their instruments, bearing banners emblazened with the crowned German Spread Eagle, and on the other side the Ironcrossed flag of the Republic. The concert lasted nearly an hour, each of the. numbers being warmly received by the public. The hand paid a strixing tribute in concluding the entertainment by playing the National Anthem.
