The dance will be held on Mon day, May 2 at the Township Auditorium from 9 until 1. The price is $3 "stag or drag." This is one of the biggest name bands that Carolina has ever had for May Day dance festivities. "Down Beat," a national music magazine, voted Les Brown's Band "The Number One Band in the Land." His band is filled with famous musical personalities. For instance his lead vocalist is Miss Lucy Ann Polk, a pretty young lady who was recently voted the top band female vocal ist for the second straight year. Les Brown, to those who know him, is a man with a heart; he is always helping people along in the musical world. He gave Doris Day her start. Many people probably remember the two to gether on "A Sentimental Jour ney" around 1946. Les Brown sets the style for the dance bands of the country. His present style may be seen in the different records of his latest album, "Concert at the Palladium." Carolina students are in store for an immemorial evening of (lanc ing and listening - when Les Brown's Band gets under way with its famous theme song, "Leap Frog," on May 2.
