Navy Band Draws Athens Crowd With Polished Show
The U S Navy Band staged two concerts in Memorial Auditorium Athens, aided by local Navy Reserve officers. The matinee featured school children and Athens High School musicians, with soloists Ben Morris and Homer Phillips, while the evening program highlighted Gershwin, Grainger, and Sousa selections. The band, praised for artistry and discipline, will be followed by an appearance from the Marine Band next fall.
