Alma Quon played the drums/piano in the all-girl band the Joy Belles and was its major instigator and leader. It is believed that the band played contemporary western popular music, possibly a jazz/swing style. It was basically a dance band and they played at many Young Chinese League functions. This drum is believed to have been used during the 1950s.This drum is significant for its links to the all-girl band 'Alma Quon & the Joy Belle', a girl band during the 1950s and the Chinese Young League. The League was formally established on 4 October 1932 to to promote free social intercourse and goodwill among its members and their mutual improvement. Membership was open to all persons, with one or both parents or grandparents born in China. Wives of Chinese members were permitted as members with the same privileges.

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. 30 parts Concert Band Instrumentation Quick March Key Signature: C Major Instrumentation: Solo Bb Cornet (Piston au Bugle) Db Flute & Piccolo Concert Flute & Piccolo Oboes Eb Clarinet 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd Bb Clarinets 1st Bassoon 2nd Bassoon Bb Soprano Saxophone Eb Alto Saxophone Bb Tenor Saxophone Eb Baritone Saxophone 1st Eb Horn 2nd Eb Horn Solo Eb Tenor Horn Eb Soprano Cornet Solo Bb Cornet 1st or Repiano Bb Cornet 2nd Bb Cornet 3rd & 4th Bb Cornets 1st Trombone (Treble) 2nd Trombone (Treble) Bass Trombone 1st Baritone 2nd Baritone Euphonium (Treble) Eb Basses (Treble) Side Drum Bass Drum Handwritten Rep.
