In 1932 the call was put out to the ABC to start a military band. The band’s task was to record music to play on air four times a week, and to perform live concerts for the public. By November 1933 a band was put together with 40 musicians from around Australia. The band was initially conducted by Captain H. E. Adkins, Director of the Royal Military School of Music, Kneller Hall, London. After the tour, Adkins returned to his position at Kneller Hall, and Stephen Yorke, a retired bandmaster of the Gloucestershire Regiment, was brought out to Australia to become the permanent director and conductor of the band, which he did until the band closed in 1951. During the band’s 17 year history they presented a sizable program of music. Their final concert received a standing ovation from its audience of 1500, with a teary-eyed Yorke. 25 Parts Concert Band Instrumentation Quick March Key Signature: Bb Minor American Star Journal Serial number: 2103 / 20894-6 Instrumentation: Solo Bb Cornet C Flute Db Flute or Piccolo Eb Clarinet Oboe 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet Solo Eb Horn / Alto Saxophone Baritone (treble clef) / Tenor Saxophone Eb Bass / Baritone Saxophone Bassoon 1st Eb Horn 2nd & 3rd Eb Horn Solo Bb Cornet Repiano Cornet / 1st Bb Cornet or Soprano Saxophone 2nd Bb Cornet 3rd Bb Cornet 1st & 2nd Trombones (bass clef) 3rd Trombone (bass clef) 1st & 2nd Trombones / 1st & 2nd Tenors (treble clef) 3rd Trombone / Bb Bass (treble clef) Baritone (Bass clef) Basses DrumsOn envelope: QM158, Pozieres c, Q361 Stamped on the reverse of each card: A.B.C.
