What a fabulous
photograph ... of the the 32nd Glasgow Drum & Fife
band.
The first ever Boys' Brigade band formed in
1885 was the 1st Glasgow Drum & Fife band
and here just seven years later is a photo of
the 32nd Glasgow. As a former Boys' Brigade
bandmaster of a Drum & Flute band in the
1970s this photograph is just fantastic!

This band formed the basis of the
Glasgow Battalion Band and featured in most of
the
Centenary in events held in Glasgow in 1983.
Along with the champion BB Bands in Scotland
the band of the ‘32’ featured
in the first Boys' Brigade LP Record
entitled appropriately enough
‘Centenary Album’ produced by Lismor
Recordings.
The band was supplemented by some players from
the Kilmarnock youth band
and the recording was made in a Kilmarnock
school
