Conductor, W. C. Crozier
Mae Johnston (soprano)
This year the Scottish C.W.S. Band celebrates its twentieth birthday. It was founded in the last year of the war and soon met with success. J. A. Greenwood was engaged as its permanent conductor, and in 1924 it secured the first-class championship of Scotland with medals for the best cornet, euphonium, and trombone. Since then, honours too numerous to mention have been won at the Crystal Palace, London, and elsewhere.
Its activities are many. It is heard regularly at exhibitions and concerts, it has broadcast, made gramophone records, and played in sound films. On one occasion it led the singing at a well-known Glasgow church. For some time George Hawkins was conductor, but now it is under the baton of W. C. Crozier , under whom it is continuing its fine record.
