Excerpt from Switch Off, or the War of the Students
At the head of the column was the students' band of ten pieces, besides a drum corps of eight, and two fifers. Signor Perelli, our music teacher, had bestowed incredible care and pains upon these amateur musi cians, and those who were competent judges declared that the result was highly creditable to his Skill and perseverance. In other words, the band played very well, though it did not undertake to compete with Gilmore, Strauss, Jullien, or even with the Ucayga Cornet' Band. The drum corps was a perfect suc cess, for most of its members had been in practice over a year.
