Chris Earnest in Patch Barracks, 1955. Members or small groups often practiced or rehearsed in the barracks. If memory serves, the left photo was taken during a rehearsal of the wind quintet arrangement of the Beethoven Sextet, Op. 71, beginning of the 2nd movement. The other photo shows a then-new Eb parforce horn built by Gebr. Alexander in Mainz |
