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 March & Two Step Key Signature: C Major Instrumentation: Solo Bb Cornet (Conductor pencilled along the top) Eb Flute & Piccolo Oboes Eb Clarinet 1st Bb Clarinet 2nd Bb Clarinet 3rd & 4th Bb Clarinets 1st Bassoon 2nd Bassoon 2nd Bb Baritone Eb Soprano Cornet Solo Eb Saxhorn (Eb Alto) 1st Bb Baritone (Bb Tenor) 1st Eb Horn 2nd Eb Horn 3rd Eb Horn 4th Eb Horn Eb Trumpets 1st Bb Cornet (crossed out with 'Rep' above) 2nd Bb Cornet 1st Trombone 2nd Trombone Bass Trombone Euphonium (Baritone) Bombardon (Tuba) Side Drum Bass DrumOn envelope: QM150, Our Battalion Rushworth, Q127, 315 (Scrubbed out) Stamped on the reverse of each card: Australian Broadcasting Commission *Sydney*, Charles Godfreybrass band, australian broadcasting commission, marching band, concert band
