VERDIGRE BAND HERE.
Handicapped by Sore Lips After Three
Days Playing for Elks.
Prof. J. J. Schmidt of Verdigre , with
fifteen members of the Verdigre mil
Itary band pleased Norfolk at noon
Friday by a concert on Fourth street
and Norfolk avenue. The band was
onroute from Sioux City , where they
had been playing under the auspices
of the Elks' convention , meeting all
trains and furnishing music for the
Elk dancing parties.
The musicians were all tired out
from the three days' continuous playing -
ing and Prof. Scniuidt declared he
himself was hardly able to blow a note
from his cornet , because of the sore
ness of his lips. Other members of
the band suffered from the same in
convenience. Notwithstanding this
handicap , the band rendered some
very fine selections and they won
much applause and admiration from
their Norfolk audience.
After the concert , the members of
the band were entertained at dinner
by Secretary A. W. Hawkins of the
Commercial club , through whose ef
forts the Verdigre musicians were in <
duced to play here. Prof. Schmidt re
ports that his was the only band which
furnished music at Sioux City during
the first day of the convention. Other
bands arriving in the city met with
trouble at the hands of the musicians'
union , and were taken out of the pa
rade. The Yankton band , with eigh
teen pieces , a new organization , de
pending upon their leader , was broken
lip by the fact that the union took
their leader from them. The - members
bers of the band were not union men
and they dropped out of the parade.
Other bands among whose members
there were some union players , were
handicapped by the fact that the union
players dropped out. The Verdigre
band is a non-union band and they secured
cured the permission of the Sioux City
union to play at Sioux City before they
left home. They will play at Orchard
on July 4. Prof. Schmidt has been
, postmaster at Verdigre for the past
twelve years.
