Orphanage Brass Band
To Perform from 4YA ON Tuesday, March 81, the brass band of St. Joseph’s Orphanage is to present a programme at 4YA, Formed only a few years ago, this combination of boys, under the conductorship of Mr. D, Whelan, has developed wonderfully as a musical organisation. The band fulfils numerous public engagements. Concerning a recent concert, which filled the Concert Chamber of the Dunedin Town Hail, the Dunedin "Evening Star" said: "The band, which is composed entirely of young boys, gave an excellent cARitable performance of standard eH pert works, playing with a finish thee *surprised the audience considerably. The conductor (Mr. D. Whelan) had the boys under excellent control, and their response was very gratifying indeed, ‘Their music was cleanly played, good tone being a special feature of each performance. The boys in the band were also heard in solo items, showing a standard that did their tutor and themselves much credit."
