The programme was of a standard that was greatly appreciated, and those who contributed are to be congratulated on the excellence of their efforts. The members of the Band were: —Mr N. Liardet (piano), Messrs A. Rowden and K. Marenzi (Saxophones), Paul Bouzaid (violin), D. Thompson (clarinet), J Williams (Ist cornet), Noel Masen (2nd cornet)/ J. Unwin (trumpet), H. Smith trombone). F. Robinson (drums and effects). The singing of Master Welch, a boy soprano, who did well at the Wellington competitions recently, was warmly encored by the large audience. Miss Bouzaid (Greytown) was encored for her piano solo, which was excellently played. A dance duo by two Greytown performers, Miss Bouzaid and Mr Brown, was deservedly encored. Mr F.' Robinson greatly pleased with his singing and MiBrown's splo dance was splendidly executed. The next concert is to be staged after Christmas.
