Biographical / Historical
The "Houstonians" were made up of both music and non-music majors. All musicians were on a music scholarship plan, aid that paid for part of their college expenses.
The "Houstonians" provided music for college dances, other college events, and non-affiliated campus events.
This concert, "Swingtime Varieties," helped to defray the expenses for a speaker for the formal dedication of the new music building, which opened in the early 1950s.
