Lunch parade times
I'm going to be in the vicinity of CH this week. I'm thinking of dropping in briefly. What time is band parade these days, and what days are the full / smaller versions?

Best check in with the CHOBA office first. You can't just "drop in" these days.

Re: Lunch parade times
Weekday band parades are at 1.15 and on a Saturday it is 12.45. The bugle band normally plays on a Tuesday and Thursday, I think, and the main band on the other days. Best to ring the school office and let somebody know you are coming, so they can pass on your details to security. Enjoy!pompeydunc wrote:I'm going to be in the vicinity of CH this week.

As an EX Senior bugler, I'm told the bugle band don't use bugles anymore, but cornets, etc. Completely different sound, IMHO !!

Re: Lunch parade times
Must confess, I didn't really pay much attention the last time I heard them, but it appeared to be a junior version of the main band. Certainly not the old Bunglers Band.J.R. wrote:Barnes Mum wrote:Weekday band parades are at 1.15 and on a Saturday it is 12.45.

Re: Lunch parade times
Can anyone tell me when the first band parade took place and what possessed the school to introduce it? I am thinking about doing a feature in the Blue about CH traditions and their origins. If anyone out there would like to help in its construction, do let me know.
Thanks

Re: Lunch parade times
I have photos from a book about CH in London, and it was certainly playing pupils into lunch then.onewestguncopse wrote:Can anyone tell me when the first band parade took place and what possessed the school to introduce it?
