NOT a touch of nerves was visible, but no doubt the musicians in our picture were anxious.
Members of the City of Oxford Training Band were preparing to give their first concert.
The picture, taken in 1983, shows Catherine Westbury, 11, on the euphonium and Paul Lambert, 10, on trombone.
They and other members of the training band aged seven to 14 delighted their audience with a polished performance at Temple Cowley United Reformed Church.
