Massed band to march
About 100 bandsmen will take part in a massed street march through Christchurch on Sunday as part of the activities planned for the New Zealand Army Band reunion this weekend. The Army band was formed in April, 1964, but the reunion will include past members of New Zealand regimental bands and battalion bands. About 120 bands-
men and their partners will attend the week-end’s festivities, which will start with a reception this evening. The street march will leave the Horticultural Hall on Sunday at 2 p.m. on its way to Cathedral Square, and return. Some of those taking part in the march will not have played with the band since the .late 19505. They will have only a
s brief practice before setting i out. Normally Army band street marches consist of ; only 30 bandsmen. Other activities during I the reunion will include a I roll call and parade at the ; bandroom at Bumham Mili- , tary Camp on Saturday, > followed later by a cabaret i evening at the Horticultural i Hall. A smoke concert has « also been planned for Suni day afternoon.
