DINNER AFTER PERFORMANCE:
Band Finds U.S., Soviet Concert Customs Different

The University Symphony Band
is finding Russian concerts vastly
different from an appearance in
an American theater, Frederick E.
Moncrief, business manager with
the band, reports from Moscow.
Local custom has concerts sche-
duled at 7 p.m., an hour or so
earlier than in the United States.
This has meant that 94 students
eat lunch about 1 p.m., have tea
at 5:30 p.m. and then perform on
what band members consider to
be an empty stomach.
After a long concert, with many
encores, the musicians return to
the hotel and have a full supper.
In Russia it is also customary to
keep the audience out until a few
minutes before, the concert is to
begin. Several times this system
has brought concern to the faces
of the bandsmen who, on looking
out into the audience, have found
only a few seats occupied. Then
suddenly, following a big rush, the
hall is full and the concert begins.
Tuning Backstage
For years the band has tuned
up instruments back stage and
then tuned en masse on stage just
before concerts. Both customs are
frowned upon in Russia when-
ever the audience is anywhere in
the vicinity. Hence, the students
have to go far away from the
stage to tune up while waiting for
word to go on stage.
Another Soviet custom is check-
ing hats and coats on entering al-
'Frosh Weekend'
Sets Mass Meeting
A mass meeting for anyone in-
terested in participating in Frosh
Weekend will be held at 8 p.m.
today in the ballroom of the
Michigan League.

most any public building. The
checking is free and quick. A
number of students have remark-
ed on how interesting the hat
racks look when covered with fur
hats. "They are just like a tree
full of sleeping Teddy bears,"
Moncrief reported.
Check Garments
All of the students and the
staff of 10 accompanying the
band now know that wearing a
hat and coat into a public dining

room or other areas is "uncultur-
ed." They now check garments.
"Because of the difference in
languages, at every concert each
composition and its composer is
announced in Russian by an im-
pressario who strides magnifi-
cently onto the stage," he said.
The language barrier becomes
more difficult, however, when
such musical pieces as "Relax"
by Paul Yoder and "Beguine for
Band" by Glen Osser are announc-
ed. There are no Russian equiva-
lents for these words. To avoid
lengthy explanations, the English
words are used, leaving the au-

dience to draw its own conclu-
sions."
At the end of each performance,
Prof. William D. Revelli of the
music school, director of the band,
says a few words. He is supposed
to stop with each sentence while
the interpreter puts his words
into Russian.
Sometimes the audience has
been so pleasing to "the maestro,"
he doesn't stop at each sentence.
"The audience seems to be on pins
and needles to see if the inter-
preter can put all his words into
Russian," he said,
