K.C.C. CONCERT.

SPLENDID PROGRAMME BY THE SOMERSET BAND.

Rain once again proved the enemy of the Kowloon Cricket Club on Saturday night, when a very fine concert by the Somerset Light Infantry Regimental Band was spoiled by intermittent gusts of'rnin.

In spite of the dampness, how ever, a considerable number of people flocked into the spacious grounds of the club, and even if they were compelled to make fre- quent dashes for shelter, they enjoyed an excellent selection of musie.

It is really remarkable that military band concerts are not of more frequent occurrence in Hong- kong as they provide possibly the best type of entertainment avail- able locally, On Saturday night the programme was one of the most varied over submitted to a local audience and ranged from opern gems to musical comedy

scores.

was 4-

The first tom, Rienzi's "Invoca- tion to Battle" was admirably in- terpreted, and the excellent Wagnerian selection preciated by all music lovers in ibo nudience. Personally, I would award the band the highest praise for their rendering of the difficult selection, from the "Aida" score. There are passages in this score- I am thinking chießy of the "Grand March" that have become, so hackneyed that they can be ap- preciated only when they are per fectly played. The Somerset band are up to the standard necessary for this purpose, and it is a high

-one.

A xylophone solo and a trom- bone solo from members of the band were appreciated, but one of the most popular selections of the evening was "Outpost", a military number, for which it was necessary for the cornet player to take up a post at the far end of the grounds, and provide the "echo". Was an interesting,

and popular piece of work.

The other numbers were well played, and the only objection I could find with the programmne was that more was not heard of the magnificent regimental march "Prince Albert". But that, of course, was out of the question, as the march is played on such occasions in the same spirit as the National Anthem.

We shall all look forward to hearing more of the Somerset bandsmen.-P. J; C.
