M'GLASHAN COLLEGE PIPE BAND

The announcement that a concert will be given in the Town Hall on Thursday, August 20, in aid of the funds of the M'Glashan College Pipe Band* has already aroused considerable interest The appearance of the Columba College Girls’ Choir, under the conductorship of Miss Ida White, is sure to be greatly appreciated as will be the singing of the M'Glashan College Choir. It is very appropriate that the Dunedin Highland Pipe Band should take a prominent part in the programme. Amongst the various musical organisations in the city none is more popular than the St. Hilda Band, which will also be heard. Amongst thq most acceptable items will be Highland dancing by Miss Wheeler’s party. A very unusual, but most interesting feature of the entertainment will be the display of physical drill by the M'Glashan College team. '

Miss Ethel Wallace has made a distinct place for herself in the musical activities of this city, and her violin playing is marked by a high standard of musical attainment, and a -wonderful degree of interpretative ability. The Council of Scottish Societies is particularly fortunate in having as its vocalists Miss Freda Elmes, Mr Arthur McDonald, and Mr John Kennedy. Their contributions to the evening’s entertainment should give pleasure and delight to, the audience. Begg’s Orchestra will provide popular selections between 7.40 and 8 o’clock, so that those who attend early will find pleasure and enjoyment before the commencement of the actual concert.
