It was good to see and be reminded of Boscombe Secondary School Band in the Echo.

I played solo cornet in the band and can name various members of the band. I think the guy behind the brass instrument is Robert Phelps and not Robert Philip.

I certainly remember playing at Dean Court at half time and remember, with great affection, not only my time in the band but my time at Boscombe Secondary School.

I can still remember Mr Peter Day and later Mr Kenneth Cook, both gentlemen who conducted the band and taught at the school.
