The above three photos have been kindly sent in by Harold Stott (Sam), and Sam is wondering if anyone has got any photos of the School Brass Band formed about 1950/1951, also the school orchestra from this era. The instruments paid for partly by huge collections of newspapers and jam jars which were stored for collection in the school celler. Sam's claims to fame were that he used to play the cows horn on occasions at the Astoria in his well spent youth. Also he was a apprentice gardener which was one of his Saturday morning jobs which included winding up the Memorial Clock in Jubilee Park.
Hi Bryan
I have seen your blog regarding Haslingden Secondary Modern School brass band and would like to add some more points of interest for your readers.
In the late fifties until 1961 I was a member of the band eventually becoming solo euphoniumist, and I remember recording twice for the BBC Manchester for their schools programmes
The first time we recorded in the hall at school and afterwards we could buy a copy of the recording for 17and 6pence which was a lot of money then when most people were not on 20 pounds a week. I have still got this record which is a one sided 7 inch E P Possibly the only one left!
The second time we recorded was for a Christmas carol programme and we did this in the school playground between the hall and the gym,
Members of the band that I can remember were
DUNCAN BURGESS SOLO CORNET
ALAN BEECH TROMBONE
JOHN HANSON TENOR HORN
BARRY DANN Bb BASS
KENNETH MADEN TROMBONE
A lot of us were also in either Haslingden or Helmshore brass bands respectively before they merged together
I do not remember ever having our photos taken whilst at school
I hope this might be of interest to your bloggers
Regards
David

Haslingden Modern School - Dinner Time Club
This is a fabulous photo of the Haslingden Modern School, dinner time club which was held in
the main assembly room and commenced at about 1230hrs and would carry on until 1300hrs
with all the latest pop records. I can recognise one or two on this photo: Gwen Woods the blonde in the couple to the left hand side next to the back, also Elaine Astin on the right hand side front couple. There is probably more when I get the chance to look more closely.

Haslingden County Secondary Modern School Annual Cross Country
As I remember the Cross Country event always started up on Poplar Street then crossing the road at the top and then after a while went up left by the side of the old "Toll Bar" now showing in a bad state of repair (and opposite the farm which at one time was known as a "Mink Farm", proceed up the incline to the top and then go out the track which leads by the side of the large TV mast, and just past there you came to a farm which those days had the lovely Mr and Mrs Whipp who so kindly provided the runners with light refreshment. You then proceeded down past their farm and ran over the disused quarry area and back down onto the back lane (Haslingden Old Road?) then you crossed over by Fred's farm and down the footpath and on to Hillside Road.
