Waring started his first enter
tainment group on this campus.
It was known as the Banjasstra
because of the predominance of
banjos. Its name was later
changed to the Snap Orchestra,
Waring’s Pencil Sharpeners, and
finally The Pennsylvanians.
Played For Dances
In its early stages on campus
the group played for fraternity
dances. One day Waring ■ tele
phoned Paul Whiteman, his hero,
and asked for an audition for his
orchestra. Whiteman consented
and the group, dressed in white
duck trousers and vivid blue
shirts with white bow ties, head
ed for New York. Waring and his
orchestra made a hit and started
on a series of engagements.
Booked as a second band for a
hop at the University of Michi
gan, Waring’s troupe of 10 men
and 40 instruments stole the
show, and moved on to Detroit
for a two-week theatre engage
ment that stretched to four weeks.
Beginning and End
The tour marked the end of
college for Waring and the be
ginning of his colorful career in
the entertainment field.
The Broadway musical, “Hear,
Hear”, which is now on tour, of
fers the same kind of music
through which Waring and his
Pennsylvanians have gained hon
ors and awards since their first
days in radio. The production is a
survey of American music. The
opening patriotic sequence will
present songs closely affiliated
with the nation. Several novelty
numbers will also be presented,
as several of the 50 performers
will be featured as soloists.
