1889 :

Again the Good Friday March, taking the Hunslet Band of Hope to the Temperance Meeting in front of Leeds Town Hall. The Band making their first appearance in a new uniform of Blue flashed with white and yellow braid and their helmets surmounted by nodding white plumes.

They had recently won seven prizes in eight contests and having decided to go in for a new uniform a two day bazaar was held which raised over £50.
