In 1970, our band hall was commissioned.
This was a marked upgrade to our prior band rehearsal building:
It was a unused workers shed in the Queensland Railway north yard - opposite the Mansfield Hotel. Students would climb through a hole in the railway fence, and cross two train tracks to get to the shed to practice. Peter Aolloway held about three classes there twice a week. Students who got there early enough would pass the time puting pennies on the tracks to see how squashed the trains made them!
