The band consisted oftwenty six-instruments, including two tambourines,four clogs, two bells, two cymbals, three triangles,one wood block, one tone block, one drum, and ten sticks.Band suits consisted of white trousers trimmed inred, white blouses, red and whito capes and caps. Theseoutfits were made by ladies of our community who offered their assistance.
