Banda Rossa Delights Muscatine Audiences Despite Low Seats
The Banda Rossa under Signor Eugenio Sorrentino thrilled Muscatine last night with Europe’s finest marching music. Despite enthusiastic praise, afternoon matinee sold well yet evening turnout was about two thirds, blamed on advertising time and prior engagements. The Star Spangled Banner closed with a rousing standing ovation.

Total lunar eclipse fascinates Muscatine crowd
Hundreds gathered as the moon entered Earth’s shadow last night. The reddened moon, bright stars, and occultation of several stars were watched from about 10:20 PM to near 2 AM in ideal observing conditions. The eclipse occurred as the moon passed through Earth’s shadow, blocking sunlight from reflecting off the lunar surface.
