BHS Orchestra 1929

Now that the membership of the orchestra has risen to seventeen, and the long-hoped-for drum has made its appearance, we can make quite a volume of sound. The first appearance of the orchestra at the school concert in July was, however, somewhat disappointing. We would like to take this opportunity of thanking those outside players who helped us on that occasion, The orchestra would also like to express its appreciation, through this magazine, for the work of the conductor, Mr. A. Kelly, to whose enthusiasm and persistence its existence is due. At present, we are practising for the Orchestral Ball at the end of this term. It would be a very great help if a period could be given over for practice, preferably on Monday, as the present half-hour is scarcely sufficient.
