JUPP’S BAND

UNIQUE GALA AND CARNIVAL Jupp’s Band (late Jupp’s Patriotic Society Band) is now working hard in organising a unique and enterprising gala and carnival with the object of raising funds to purchase new uniforms for the members, and confidently appenl to the public of Wellington for assistance and help. Tho gala will open on January 6th, and will carry on to January 23rd, 1927. Jupp’s Band lias always been to the fore in assisting each and every organisation in the city, especially during the stress of the Great War, when the services of the band were given freely and gratuitously to augment tlio funds for soldiers’ welfare and .assistance to their dependents. Everyone knows that the upkeep of a hand is a costly item, on account of uniforms, music, instruments, etc., having to be kept right up-to-date, so now the time has come when the band issues an appeal for the full support and assistance from the public of Wellington. Tlie gala being organised will be the largest and most up-to-date ever held in Wellington. No expense will be spared in introducing new novelties and entertainments, in fact, all the shows and games will be absolutely new to Wellington, the great features being Staig’s Enterprises, Ltd., great electric chairaplane. the latest up-to-date throe-horse abreast merry-go-round. and the nautical novelty, the improved ocean wave, the new rnce game. shooting gallery, and other shows which are being imported from the .Continent for the occasion. There will also bo ice cream, soft drinks and refreshments stalls, a huge dnnee pavilion will be erected, and a full jazz orchestra will supplv the dance music. Brass bands and pipb bands will render musical programmes each evening.

This will no doubt orove one of the greatest events ever held in tbe city, and with the object in view, to thoroughly equip the band with new uniforms a confident appeal is made to tlie citizens nf Wellington to patronise the gala and show their npnrcciation of the services of Jupp’s Band to. the community at large.
