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. 23 Parts Concert Band Instrumentation Paso-Doble Militar Key Signature: C Minor Instrumentation: Flute & Piccolo in Eb Oboes 1st Clarinet in Bb 2nd Clarinet in Bb 3rd Clarinet in Bb Soprano Cornet in Eb 1st Cornet (handwritten) 1st Cornet in Bb (Conductor) 2nd Cornet in Bb 1st Trumpet in Eb 2nd Trumpet in Eb 1st & 2nd Horns in Eb 3rd & 4th Horns in Eb 1st Tenor Trombone 2nd Tenor Trombone 1st Trombone (handwritten) Bass Trombone 1st Baritone in Bb (Treble Clef) Euphonion in Bb (Treble Clef) Euphonion (Treble Clef, handwritten) Euphonion (Bass Cled) Contra Bass in Bb (Treble Clef) Basses Bombardon in Eb DrumsPrinted on reverse side of QM25 - Quick March "The Bullfighters".
