The Program





1.


Pep—characteristic piece


Amsden




2.


Symphony in B minor (Unfinished)
Allegro moderato Andante con moto


Schubert






This symphony is played in honor of its composer, the one hundredth anniversary of whose death we are commemorating this year.  It is probably one of the most familiar symphonies in existence.




The first movement starts with a melancholy theme, but soon there develops a melody which is suggestive of happier days.  The entire first movement is built around these two themes.  The second movement is like a prayer, with its beautiful harmony and melody.

Stadium Echoes, '27


Arr. by 
Mark Hindsley






The 1927 edition of Stadium Echoes is the third annual composition of its kind.  It is a resumé of the songs played by the I. U. Band in our Memorial Stadium during the past football season, arranged in descriptive form.




The number begins with the sound of trumpets in the distance, followed by the band playing 
On the Banks of the Wabash,
 representing the beginning of the band parade.  Then the battle cry, 
Beat Purdue,
 is heard, gradually getting louder until it develops into the popular song 
Yankee Rose.
  After another loud cry, 
Beat Purdue,
 there follows a medley of school songs representing I.U. and her opponents.  The saxophones play a few measures of 
Hail Purdue
; the trumpets come in with a bit of 
Our Director,
 a Harvard song; the clarinets chime in with 
Go U Northwestern,
 and the trombones wind up with the last part of 
Indiana Loyalty.
  Then all four of these songs are played simultaneously by these instruments with the same accompaniment.




As evening draws near, the chimes strike five o'clock, and the band plays 
At Sundown.
  The description is ended with the playing of 
Me and My Shadow.






6.

BANDOLIERS

8.


In a Bird Store


Lake






Synopsis:  Opening; Dawn, The clock strikes four.  The break of day is heralded by the Rooster.  As the sun peeps in at the window, the sleeping birds awaken, and, one by one, commence to warble and sing, making a merry concert, broken by the discordant voice of the parrot, 
Polly wants a cracker.
  The Red Cardinal and Canary sing a duet accompanied by a chorus of birds.  The sweet plaintive song of the caged Nightingale is intermingled with the joyous notes of the Thrush, Finch, and other birds.




The shades of evening gather.  The birds gradually go to rest as chimes are heard in the distance.  Suddenly a cat appears at the window, her hissing and clawing causing confusion among the frightened birds.  But the angry scolding of Polly, the parrot, drives the intruder away, and the birds rejoice in their victory.

The Indiana University Concert Band



This organization is comprised of select members of the famous hundred piece university band that accompanies the varsity football team on all of its 
out of town
 games, and forms an important element in every invasion.




In the four years that have passed 
Indiana's Band
 has filled the following engagements away from home:  the Chicago game at Chicago 1924; Ohio State at Columbus 1924 and 1925; Purdue at Lafayette 1924 and 1926; Louisiana at Indianapolis 1924; Northwestern at Evanston 1925 and 1926; Notre Dame at South Bend 1926; at the State Conclave of the Knights Templars at Terre Haute, 1926, and at Muncie 1927; the State Democratic Editorial Convention at Martinsville, and the annual appearances at the 500 mile Speedway Classic in Indianapolis, May 30th.  A tour is made by the concert band every spring.




The 1927–28 season opened with a week's engagement at the Indiana State Fair, playing both afternoon and evening at the races or the horse show.  The band with its personnel of 100 musicians accompanied the football team to Chicago University, Harvard, and Northwestern, giving an exhibition between halves of intricate maneuvers and formations such as spelling out words letter by letter, reproducing monograms, etc.  Representative marches were played and sung continually throughout these tenminute demonstrations.  At each of these performances the band was well received, especially at Harvard, the performance there being commented upon by newspapers throughout the East.  Alumni and people of Boston entertained the bandsmen with sightseeing tours, dinners, etc.  On the return, a stop was made for a day at Niagara Falls.




After the football season the band was organized for concert playing.  The band has appeared in convocation and Sunday concerts in addition to participation in campus parades, ceremonies and celebrations.  Concerts are broadcast bi-weekly through station WFBM, Indianapolis.  March 30th the concert band made a trip to Ft. Wayne to play before the Northern Indiana Methodist Conference.




Further activities this spring will include participation with the R.O.T.C. unit in their weekly regimental ceremonies, Foundation Day exercises, Commencement activities, and an engagement to play at the Indianapolis Speedway Races.  During the 1927–28 season alone, the Indiana University Band will have traveled a total of 4,700 miles.




The privilege of application for membership in this organization is open to all students.  Competitive tryouts are held at the beginning of each semester.  The musicians are chosen on the basis of their general musical and marching proficiency.  It is recognized as a campus honor to be a member of the Indiana University Band.
