Summary

Description

Notes: Tiny Smith appears in a number of Katoomba Band photos of this time and is not known by any other name, his real name was apparently Tom and he also played cornet. Photo dated 21 March, 1941.

The Katoomba Boy's Band was formed in 1937 and became the Blue Mountains City band in 1947. In the early years the band had no practice hall and rehearsed under street lamps, moving on to placate residents. During the war years 26 members enlisted in the AIF. In 1940 when AIF troops marched form Sydney to Bathurst, the band met the troops outside Katoomba and marched them through the town.
