Messrs Low and Thomson were appointed to represent the band at the J annual meeting of the New Zealand Brass,Bands' Association. Air Thomson (conductor) reported that during the last month he tiad conducted 12 junior and six senior practices. The senior band had paraded with the Home Guard on two occasions and also luliillcd an engagement with the Manawatu Racing Club at. its winter meeting. The attendance on each occasion had been excellent and the playing all that could be desired. The band had been fortunate in securing the services of Mr L. Crane as drum-major.
