THE sound of music filled the gym at Kingsleigh Secondary School, Bournemouth, as youngsters took part in a sponsored event.

The pupils hoped to raise approximately £700 to cover the cost of a new bass clarinet.

"Two of our tuba players are due to leave this summer and there is no beginner at the moment," said music teacher Stephen Williams when these pictures were taken on January 14, 1990.

The band had recently won the top award at a competition in Chichester and were due to join Oakmead School Band the following month for a special concert at Oakmead School hall.
