I grew up in a mining town in the northeast of England, where "Jazz" bands were popular. We played kazoos with silver coated "bells" attached to the kazoo. We had tenors, snares a bass drum, cymbals. tamborine. a mascot, drum majors & the banner carriers. I still have some great pics of the Billingham Silvertones from the mid-60's when my whole family marched.
We marched in local parades & traveled to other towns for competitions. The medals & trophies were really well made.
