In most regimental histories, the band, if mentioned at all, is likely to be relegated to an appendix, possibly showing a bar or two of the regimental march. Yet it is an indisputable fact that the band is actually that part of the regiment which is most frequently in the public eye.

It may come as a surprise to learn how many bandsmen have later achieved musical distinction in civilian life, not least Sir Colin Davis, who has written the foreword.
