South Notts. Hussars Yeomanry Band
2 + Cornets, First Trombone and Solo Trombone players. A Percussionist and another Eb Bass would be useful too. (Date submitted: 25 April 2008) | ||
|
The band are currently looking to recruit new players and are especially in need of cornet players, although all other brass and percussion players are always welcome. So if you know anyone who may be interested, do get in contact with us.
The South Notts. Hussars Yeomanry was raised in 1794 and Regimented in 1826. The first reference to a Regimental Band being in the "Nottingham Journal" of May 1828. It is noted that at this time the band was a mounted band. During the second world war the South Notts. Hussars, including the band, were involved on active service, and in June of 1942 were involved in the battle of Knightsbridge, which is reported as being "The last stand of the South Notts. Hussars". The band was annihilated in this action with only eight members surviving. The grandson of one of the survivors is a member of the current cornet section. The band was reformed as a wholly Brass Band in 1954 under the leadership of Harry Ryder and over the last fifty years has taken part in many official engagements, including Beating Retreat on Horse Guards Parade on three occasions and a tour of Germany. In the nineteen ninety's they performed at many engagements for the Royal Family. Since the band was reformed in 1954 there have been some very competent musicians at the helm who have both composed and arranged music for the band. Having lost official Territorial Army status approximately ten years ago due to government cuts to funding military music the band has been under strength, but still performs regularly and this year will be playing at Southwell Minster for the Queens birthday with the full band and Fanfare Team. | Location: Nottinghamshire | |
