BAND MUSIC.
' On Sunday I enjoyed two concerts given ■by the Municipal Band—both in delightful surroundings. The glorious weather showed thS view from the Domain at its best, and the moonlight revealed the tracery of the University tower from Albert Park, enhancing the musical treat, but one's reaction directed an echo to Mr. J. Eeillv's sentiments in Ids Saturday letter. Why should the paid city combination be the only voice? Martial music from some of our military and amateur bands would have been most welcome. They could well have occupied the rotunda near the hospital in the evening, and other centres in the afternoon. The public gets what it deserves, admittedly, but the city by not subsidising its unpaid helps fails to cater for its own needs, and thus definitely discourages good music. There are many who like to stroll to the nearest park in summery weather and not bottle themselves inside a theatre which is unsuitable for most brass band music. 1 . W.H.
