OUR BANDS.
TO THK EDITOR. ,-; lKj —Permit me through your columns to draw attention to a subject which has long engaged my thoughts, I refer to some form of public amusement—outdoor amusement —for the public. We have in our midst a number of brass bands (military and other), and I need hardly point out the advantages which would result from a series of open-air concerts given during the summer season. One particular night each week might be fixed upon, and our City bands take turns to perform. By such an arrangement each band would not bo called upon to give its services oftener than onco in five or six weeks. As to a place in which to perform, there are many available. The Triangle could easily bo obtained for tho purposo; and the Octagon, tho Gardens, the Oval are all equally suitable. A few years ago openair concerts were often held, but for some cause or other seem now to be things of tho past. I trust that.a move will be made in the matter.—l am, etc., Amusement, Dunedin, February 9.
