BRASS BANDS.
Sir-I beg to thank you for the opportunity of last word on the subject of brass bands and for the space you have most generously afforded. I also acknowledge the clever and most provocative letter from A. R. D, Fairburn. He got results where I failed. It was most gratifying to read letters from readers flying to the defence of‘ brass bands-among them some very wellknown names in the brass band world. A final request to the NZBS_ for more coverage of the National Contests. A brass bandsman, also, does not relish military band programmes in For the Bandsman. Give us fewer massed band items, they are only inspiring to eye-witnesses; more records of bands who were not placed at the contest to enable their conductors to hear faults of intonation, interpretation, etc., and .enable them to check their performances with judges’ reports, These points would be of great assistance to the bandsman, and would make bandsman = sessions more bearable. Once more, Mr. Editor, thank you.
