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. 28 parts concert band instrumentation Descriptive March - Introducing: The Auxiliary Air Force March, the Air Salute, the Flying Corps Drinking Song etc. Includes extended technique of flutter tonguing for an aeroplane effect Key Signature: Eb Major Feldman's Brass and Military Band Journal Instrumentation: Solo Cornet Bb (Conductor) Db Flute & Piccolo Concert Flute Oboe Eb Clarinet Repiano Bb 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd & 4th Bb Clarinets Bassoon Eb Soprano Eb Alto Saxophone 1st Baritone Bb (or Tenor Saxophone Bb) 2nd Baritone Bb 1st Eb Horn (or Solo Tenor) 2nd Eb Horn (or 1st Tenor) 3rd Eb Horn (or 2nd Tenor) Solo Bb Cornet (Conductor) 2nd Bb Cornet 3rd & 4th Cornets Bb 1st Trombone 2nd Trombone Bass Trombone Euphonium (Treble Clef) Euphonium (Bass Clef) Bombardon (Bass Clef) Eb Bass (Treble Clef) Bb Bass DrumesOn envelope: QM177, Royal Aerobat (Carver), Q263brass band, australian broadcasting commission, marching band, concert band
