My band had a similar style with guard uniforms (Welsh Guard)
and
pipes;
we even had the regimental marches in arrangements 'borrowed'
from a
regimental director.


What school?


It's named after a minor planet :-).


I'm being slow; not getting it!


Ceres. There's no reason to know about it unless you read your
'Two-buck
Chuck' label.


The director had success at Selma
in raisin country, but sadly died young some twenty-five years ago.


I remember Selma at the All Western. Also British style uniforms,
IIRC.
I almost applied for that job 25 years ago for that reason!


The director left Selma for my school and took his 'look' with him. The
valley bands had their heyday decades before that when there was
nothing
else to do but join the band.


A phone call home jogged my memory: my band in Ceres modeled its banners
after those of Vista! We liked the black velvet.

Wow...your post just jogged MY memory; my mom sewed the first velvet
banners! Later when we had enough money, they were replaced by
professionally done ones, same style.


with, or without Elvis?

a doggie marching brass section would have fit just right.
