Prince of Wales School Band on the Quad - 1939

Prince of Wales School Band on the Quad - 1939
(Photo by H.K."Pop" Binks)

Photo & text supplied by Cynthia McCrae (née Astley) and Alastair McCrae (Rhodes 1943-1946) - originating from the photo albums of Bernard Astley (Headmaster 1937-1945)


Text by Alastair McCrae:
This is a photo of the 'Bugle Band' - note there are none of the usual brass instruments - i.e. cornets, trombone, euphonium which were used for the full band. The bugle band was fielded more frequently than the full band including, if I remember correctly, every Thursday at Retreat.

Text by Peter Hays:
Phil Abrams is the Drum Major, and you can see "Randy" Anderson's wood-work building in the background
