Democratic Advocate, May 16, 1924 The Second Annual Carroll County High School Eisteddfod
Eisteddfod Wonderful - 330 Pupils, Represented 10 High School.
Audience of 1500 Pack Alumni Hall.
Westminster Leads In Points
The Second Annual High School Eisteddfod, or inter-scholastic music contest, which was held in Alumni Hall Western Maryland College, Friday night, May 9th, was a marked success with 330 pupils, representing ten schools, participating.
The contest idea in music dates far back in the history of the art, with the Meistersingers as an early notable example, and the Welsch Eisteddfod as the best perpetuation of the old custom, but the adoption of the music performance contest in this country, and particularly among schools, has been of comparatively recent date.
Westminster again carried off the honors with a score of 484 points out of a possible 600; Union Bridge ranked second with 433 points, and Hampstead third, scoring 424 points.
The Orchestra number, which was the first event of the evening, was won by Westminster playing "Apple Blossoms" by Roberts and directed by Miss Annette Fillmore. Democratic Advocate, May 16, 1924.
