1981 – A Tradition Continued

Continuing to play trade mark tunes such as swing march, St Louis Blues, Chimes and Valiant years, the band continued to be one of the top traditional bands in the country.


A highlight of 1981 was the Scout National Championships at Chelsea FC.

The band were nearly not allowed to compete as we had Eb trumpets and G bugles. Only when a judge witnessed the 2nd and 3rd valve being taped down were the band allowed to compete in the traditional class.

This allowed Simon Cotton to be crowned the champion drum major.
