Our members

The members of the original Schoolboys' Band were students from all over the city. Here's the story.

Our Music Director

Our librarian

No music group can succeed without an active and able librarian. We're very fortunate to have Rose, who comes to every rehearsal and makes sure we all have copies of the music. The hours she devotes to this task can't be counted ...
