Marshall's Civic Band

Given to Marshall's Band by Fred Evans, Director of the Sabetha, KS High School 
Band. 
 
This overture is descriptive in character as the name implies.  It is intended 
to portray the ruins of an old, deserted castle on the middle ages with its 
accompanying atmosphere of mystery. 
 
The composer of this overture has grown up with the school band movement.  He 
began his music studies in the grade school at Grand Forks, North Dakota under 
Mr. Leo M. Haesle.  Continuing on through high school he enrolled at the 
University of North Dakota where for three years he was assistant director of 
bands under Prof. John E. Howard.  At the present time he is band director at 
the Loyola Academy.
