The two-day show was so im- pressive that many adults who attended were heard to remark favourably on the festival. They suggested that a concert made up of the best talents of the combin- The ed schools be staged for the public. This is an excellent ideo and school boys and girls may help to bring this concert about by applying to the Hong Kong Schools Music Association, which ran the festival at the Diocesan Girls' School so ably.

Mention of the recent festival bring to mind the very fine must harmonica duet given by Gallon Lee and Cheun Ylu-kan of Wan- chat Government School. Their performance rated 94 marks-the highest scored by any person or persons in the two-day festival.
