A Bendigo Advertiser article by Amy Huxtable titled '472 years of banding and now women are in.' 472 is the total years of banding held by 12 members of the Bendigo Municipal Band. Bendigo has a history of brass bands and Scottish Pipe Bands. There are three girls in the Bendigo Municipal Band for the first time in its history. Many boys in the past are trained up and then they leave Bendigo for employment. World wars also disrupt the development of the band. 29/01/1977.organisation, band, bendigo municipal band, lydia chancellor collection, collection, bendigo municipal band, music, bands, pipe bands, oscar flight, hopetoun band, nat hallis band, james swift, history, james northcote band, southern command band, amy huxtable, clubs, clubs and associations
