Original Toronto Star caption: Sound of music in city hall square. Bands from 17 Toronto secondary schools fill Nathan Phillips Square with their music as the Toronto Board of Education put on its Centennial Celebration Concert last night. Some 3;000 young musicians took part and another 3;000 persons showed up to watch and listen. The low temperature and a chilling wind kept attendance down. Involved in the musical feast were bands; orchestras and choirs. The sheer volume of musicians proved much more than their leaders could cope with.
