1980 – Traditional is the way

After the success of the traditional marching band style during the 70’s, membership of the organization continued to grow.
The band continued in the traditional manner playing on Eb trumpets and having a traditional drum major leading from the front.


A point of interest at the end of 1980 was the purchase of 3 G bugles as an experiment.

The first members to play them were Alan Degg, Philip Bourne and Chris Abbotts.

When playing with the band these member would press the second and third value down throughout the duration of the show to put the bugles into the correct key.
