1932

The Good Friday engagement at Leeds was undertaken at a fee of £8, marking the 50th Anniversary of the Band’s very first public performance.

In august the Yorkshire Evening Post published photographs and 'Jubilee Memories’ reflecting the confident air of the “Prize Band” of the period.

A passing reference in a newspaper dated October 8th states “The Jubilee Celebrations are taking place today.” but no details have been discovered.

The contest record includes:

• First prize and medals again at Fairford, Glos.
• First prize at Huddersfield and third prize at Oxford

In the Whit Friday contests their march was “Simplicity” and won a first and fourth.

In the championship class they attended Belle Vue playing “The Crusaders” (won by Brighouse and Rastrick in the first of their three-in-a-row victories) and Crystal Palace playing “A Downland Suite” (won by Fodens also the first of a hat-trick).

A broadcast from Manchester on July 24th combined en route a concert at Meltham and during the year the coach covered many now familiar miles between Rothwell and all points of the compass for concert and contests performances.
