More of the Ostend College boys band

When I posted the picture of the Ostend College Boys Band last Sunday I didn't expect to hear from the original photographer. But I have !

Terza got in touch and sent in these four scans which are larger scale than the previous post - so thankyou to him. Apparently the guys now wear long trousers which is a shame - 'progress' has its downfalls.

These photos were taken in 1971 which explains the age of the bus in the previous post! Some people laugh at the 70s/80s styles but some of them are pretty hot in my opinion (for what its worth). It seems to show a 'freer' moment in sartorial history.

    And jolly fine they look too!

    Their white socks are shorter than their knees so there's rather more leg on show than is often the case.

    I am outraged to learn that this fine band now wears long trousers. What on earth are the powers-that-be thinking of?
