DESDUNES BAND
DELIGHTS THOUSANDS
An enthusiastic audience numbering
nearly 3,000 filled the Auditorium last
Sunday afternoon to listen to one of
the finest band concerts ever given in
the city of Omaha. The First Regi
mental band, Uniform Rank Knights
of Pythias, popularly known as Des
dunes band, gave its initial post-war
concert under the management of Will
Lewis. A well balanced program of
classical and popular numbers, in
cluding comet solos, trombone duetts,
saxophone quaretts and other special
features delighted the audience. This
splendid organization has been in
creased to a membership of forty-five
and the finished style in which they
rendered each selection showed the
diligent and painstaking work done
under their proficient and conscien
tious leader, Dan Desdunes.
Sousa’s great composition dedicated
to the war brides and grooms of
America was played for the first time
in Omaha at this concert and carried
the audience by storm. Repeated en
cores, graciously given, followed each
number.
The audience was about equally di
vided between the races and all were
most enthusiastic in their apprecia
tion and praise of the splendid pro
gram given.
The Monitor is proud of this splen
did organization and its talented and
unselfish leader and extends congrat
ulations to leader and men for their
great musical triumph. Keep up the
good work. You are making history
ami creating sentiment.
