HELP FOR BANDS.
Sir,-The Government has sponsored a National Orchestra and I have no doubt that the cost of maintaining it will run into many thousands of pounds annually. The orchestra is certainly a move in the right direction, in that interest in good music is encouraged. But I feel that there is another way in which our Government would assist the cause of music, and that is by -granting a certain annual sum to be divided among those brass bands of the country which are affiliated with the N.Z. Brass Bands’ Association. The bands have provided music for all sorts of functions, parades, and concerts, under a vast variety of conditions, and the smaller town bands-most of which are "C" grade-have a very hard struggle to maintain themselves without the benefits derived from -radio concerts, etc., which are the biggest providers of cash for "A" and "B" grade bands of the larger cities.
