Band consists of thirty players, all of whom are late members of the Brigade of Guards. Since 1926 the Band, under the direction of its conductor, W. T. Hughes, R.M.S.M., has been playing regularly in all the London parks and in the provinces, and has made records for and featured in the Pathe Gazette. The Band gave its first broadcast in May, 1935. Its members are now all civilian professional musicians, but have been authorised by the Scots Guards to use the title by which they are known.
