We always try to go to the RM band concert at the beginning of July when the  memorial bandstand  to these musicians is rededicated. This year we missed it. The 20th anniversary as well, it doesn't seem that long ago. My brother is an ex bandsman so more poignant and knew the School of Music from the age of 14years til he retired, and was devastated when this happened.
