This method. Fields said, beeame impractical due to the size of the hand* and leader* started paying members scale salaries and would then take profit or loss from en gagements himself. “At the beginning, good big bands were well-attended, but now, if they haven't had a recent hit re cord. fewer people will pay to tee S 9 •- • * ?«:. 11 ** I m£»w wf . ■f ' 9^'*' m ißp' TTM ay rjm ■ m £8 ~ r .jhH P jm h FIRST SIGN OF SPRING AT ST.

He continued: "Big bands have been dying because of a change in audience demands. Now teenagers are just as happy with one singer backed by a local band or small groups as they would be with a big band. Furthermore, big bends oast more and, as such, the promoters and theater* are more likely to hire the one-man act or the small group "Television has also sounded the death knell for big bands, because people now go out not to dance as much as to be entertained, and a very large band must keep watch inf their music in order to sound right while the mall group can have little or no music and can be ehowy."
