Acknowledgments

''Music in the Air" originated 2 years ago at Memorial Stadium, in Mount Vernon. The contest is now recognized as one of the finest presented in the area during the ''Drum Corps Season''. We are sincerely happy to bring the contest to the public again this year, (1964). This could not have been accomplished without the help of many people. Unfortunately space does not permit us to name them all, but we would like to acknowledge the continued help of the following: Commissioner Branca and the Mount Vernon Department of Recreation for their generosity and understanding. The Mount Vernon Police Department and the Auxiliary Police for the efficient job of handling the field protection and traffic problem, and of course the many thousands of wonderful people who continue to patronize our show. We thank you sincerely for without you there would be no contests. We hope you enjoy our show this evening and will be back again next year.

Drum corps competing this evening are : The Hot-Shots. (Norwalk, Conn.). The Scarlet Lancers. (Jamaica, N.Y.). The Saxon Knights. (Centereach, N.Y.). The Eastsiders. ( New York City, N.Y.). The Oceanside Legionnaires. ( Oceanside, N.Y.) and The Vanguards. ( Farmingdale, N.Y.)
