Bill went on to be the lead percussionist with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra for many years. Arthur Fiedler said of Bill, on one of his many guest appearances, that he was one of the finest percussionists he had ever met.

But not everyone was sorry to see the maid go. The cook gave the boys all extra sausages. She had not liked the maid and was happy to see her off for two weeks. Glasgow was the scene of the big fight as it was called. Mr. Delamont appointed one of the boys, Jack Hambleton as the policeman. As the fight progressed, Jack could be heard saying, “For God’s sake, don’t do that.” All of a sudden the mattresses started sliding down the staircase as Mr. Delamont tried to make his way up. “Here comes D,” one boy shouted.

“I told you, I told you,” exclaimed Jack. As Mr. Delamont’s white head appeared in the doorway, everyone was in bed except Jack, who was standing in the middle of the room looking very pleased. Mr. Delamont said, “Jack, I never would have thought it of you!” And the band played on, over to the continent, to Oosterbeek Holland for the International Band Festival. The boys took first place in the international marching competition and received highest honours in the Harmony class. They had done it again! Yes it was a trip that not only all the boys would remember but they are probably still talking about it in Europe! Many boys came of age on that trip. Most of them gave up their bad habits as quickly as they took them up. The boys were so busy having fun and playing their concerts, that - 179 -

one boy remarked at a reunion concert thirty-four years later, “Do you realize that when we played in Glasgowand we thought we were going to the same park, we actually played at a different park everyday?” By 1953, funding for Arthur’s trips was getting harder to find. There were so many organizations now all trying to raise funds for various reasons, that Arthur and Lillie were not sure they would be able to make this trip. In April 1953, Arthur approached the city council of Vancouver, asking for three hundred dollars to help the tour. He was told by city council,
“We’re sorry but we have developed a hold the line policy on expenditures.” In city council offices, alderman Bert Shouter said, “It’s chicken feed.” “We can’t break down our policy,” said alderman RK Gervin. “How can we justify this grant when we are cutting down all departments?”
After the motion had been defeated four to three, Mr. Shorter then said, “We should all pay three hundred dollars out of our own pockets.” Mayor Hume rushed over to shake his hand and say, “That’s a mighty fine gesture. I’ll go for that myself.” So, Arthur got his grant, although officially it had been refused. The band arrived in London on June 13, 1953. That night the boys performed their first engagement over the BBC, on its In Town Tonight series. During a rehearsal

for the evening performance, Peter Duncan, a producer at BBC, said to the star of the show, Irene Dunne, “Cover your ears because the opening fanfare will be electrifying. She did, but she took them off for a moment, then quickly put them back. She looked over to Peter in the control booth, who gave her a thumbs up. Later on she said, “The effect had been electrifying.”
While they were rehearsing Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis walked in... They were schedualed to be on the program as well. When the boys finished playing, Jerry hammed it up with Dean for a few moments, just for the boys,who had all gathered around them. For the remainder of the week, the boys were schedualed to play at seaside and various holiday resorts. At Wembley Stadium, they played before a crowd of forty thousand. In Blackpool they drew a crowd of thirty-five
hundred to a concert, while crooner Frank Sinatra, sang for only a few hundred at a competing theatre. In all, they performed one hundred and seventy-five stage, radio and television appearances during their four and a half month tour of the old country. Besides England, their tour took them to Edinburgh and Ireland, as well as

On the way home, Arthur and his boys posed for a number of pictures on the SS Samaria. Arthur could not help thinking about his trip home in 1939 and how lucky they had been to reach home safely. When they had arrived in England, they had just missed the coronation of young Elizabeth but they were able to to revel in the aftermath of the coronation as the streets were still adorned with the decorations that had been put up for the occaision. In 1955, Arthur again returned to England with his boys. They
played concerts across Canada, as they had in the past and caught the liner Ascania in Montreal. Again, they played all over England but this time Arthur also took the boys to Jersey one of the Channel Islands.The boys enjoyed the warm weather and put on many concerts. And the band played on.... Between 1955 and 1958, Arthur continued to run his band. Often he would go out before rehearsals in his old Dodge and pick up boys who needed a ride into rehearsals. During these years, he had several boys who lived in North Vancouver and had no way of getting across the Lions Gate Bridge to Vancouver. Arthur arranged to meet the boys
on their side of the bridge, around six o’clock, telling them, “Hitchhike in if you have to!” Often, he would pick up as many as ten boys in his old Dodge and the routine was always the same. He would wind down his window before starting off, clear his throat and then head across the bridge to Vancouver. Whenever he reached a hill, he would turn off the engine and coast down to save gas. “Old habits are hard to break,” he would say. Always very close with his money, he would often arrange with gas stations, to give him a deal on gas, in exchange for

a concert or mention in his publicity. In 1958, Arthur returned to England for his seventh tour. This time, Gordon came along to help out. Lillie had not been too well over the past three years and Arthur was worried about her. Gordon, by now was a respected composer/arranger, still living in Toronto with his wife and two children, whom also came along on the tour. In Brussels, Lillie became very sick. Luckily, one of Athur’s old boys happened to be living there and he was a linguist. With his help, the doctors were able to help Lillie and prescribed a shot of Brandy. Arthur said, “I never thought I’d have
to admit, a shot of booze would do anyone any good.” The boys played their usual concerts at seaside resorts and towns across England and Scotland. At Dunfermline, they played a concert at Pittencreiff Park, which prompted one official to say, “The boys drew the largest audience in the history of the park.” Over on the continent, the boys were on route to Kerkrade Holland for the International Music Festival, when they boarded a train in Rotterdam. After the train was
pulling away from the platform, one of the boys noticed a familiar sight on the platform. It was their set of concert bells. Someone had forgotten to put them on the train. One of the boys quickly jumped onto the platform and retrieved the bells, while some others cheered him on. By now, the train was moving alittle faster, so he had to run along beside the train and hand the bells up to one of his mates, finally being pulled back on board, as the train left the platform in the distance. As the trip continued, back in England, the boys continued their good natured pranks, similar to their predecessors. One boy who had met some girls and told them his name was Mike Romanoff, started to receive letters from the

girls. While Arthur was handing out the mail, he said, “Mike Romanoff, who’s Mike Romanoff?” When the boy came up and introduced himself, Arthur looked at him rather oddly. As the days went by and more letters arrived for Mike Romanoff, Arthur got so frustrated, he would throw the letters at the boy from across the room and it became the running gag of the tour, leaving everyone in fits of laughter as mail time approached. As the tour came to an end,
one of their last concerts, was before eighty thousand people at Wembley Stadium. When it was all over, Arthur gave the boys fifteen minutes to watch the motorcycle races and then it was back to the bus. An hour later, it was all they could do, to pry Arthur away from the races.

That Arthur never lost sight of the boy inside him and showed a mutual respect for his boys, were two attributing factors, to his many successes over the years. He often overlooked some of the older boys indis-
He shuffled his feet, in alittle dance that he did, turned around and walked out. The next morning, the boys were up at seven am, along with everyone else and no mention was made of the incident.

By 1959, Vancouver had changed considerably from the days when Arthur used to catch the trolley down to Wards Music. Wards Music was still there, catering to a new generation of musically minded Vancouverites. The Vaudeville houses, no longer entertained dancers and jugglers. They had been converted into movie houses. Cary Grant, Clark Gable and Errol Flynn were the names on the signs out front in 1959. Arthur’s visits to the Musicians Union office were less frequent, now that he was a man of means and well established on the westside of town. When he was not running his bands, Arthur could be found playing his trumpet. He had a group of professional musicians, he had assembled, made up of a lot of his old boys. It was hard to be in the music business in Vancouver and not have played in one of Arthur’s bands. Whether it was for the departure of a P&O Liner or playing in the house band at a Lion’s home game or playing in a park or for the opening of a new store; Arthur was always ready! He still insisted on being paid something for his services, even if he did not need it! He knew how hard it was, when he needed to raise money. One afternoon, at his home, in the spring of 1959, Arthur received a telephone call from the Lieutenant Govenor of BC, the honourable Frank Ross. “Arthur, the Queen is coming to Vancouver and I would like you and your boys to be the band of honour for her and one hundred guests at a reception for her at Beacon Hill Park. I want the Queen to hear the champions, it would be a rare opportunity for the boys.”
Hearing no response from Arthur, Mr. Ross found out later, that Arthur had been so excited, that he ran down to Wards Music to pick out some special music for the occaision. - 220 -
At the reception, the Queen said to Arthur, “From what I have heard today, I feel we should be sorry we lost you but
it is nice you have done so well. I thought the standard of your boys performance was excellent and I congratulate you.”

THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES In 1962, Lillie died from complications with Alzheimers disease. Gordon came out from Toronto to be at her side. He was not too well either, suffering from lung problems. Arthur had another trip planned for the summer of 1962 and he decided he would carry on with the trip. After playing at the Seattle Worlds Fair, Arthur and his boys boarded the liner Orsova and travelled through the Panama Canal, play-
ing concerts in Acapulco, Panama City, Kingston and Bermuda. The boys continued their good natured hi-jinks, such as switching the gents and ladies signs on board the ship and then sitting back to watch the fun. The men came out with a smile but the ladies, they were not always so pleased. In Europe, the band played in Nice on June 20th, for the Lions International Convention, played a commemorative service at Dunkerque and made
appearances in several British and French cities. While doing the rounds of several European cities, the boys encountered a bit of bad luck. In Paris, two boys were injured in an automobile accident and one boy slipped and fell in the shower, hitting his head and injuring himself fatally! On all of the trips Arthur had made, he always had managed to bring all the boys home safely, so this tour was especially hard on Arthur; what with losing Lillie as well! As if

Kitsilano Boys’ Band Makes Clean Sweep In Competitions Wins Hemming Trophy For Highest Marks
Kitsilano Boys’ Band, under direction of Arthur Delamont, cleaned the slate at the International Contest held at Abbotsford last Saturday. The band won the following awards: First in junior bands test piece Maritana. First in marching competition. First for open brass bands, no drums or reeds, 24 players, Test piece, “Recollections of Beethoven.” Last time the Kitsilano group competed as a brass band of 34 players was in London, England, in 1934 and 1936, at that time taking top honours. Kitsilano Boys’ Band also received the J. B. Hemming memorial trophy for the band receiving the highest number of marks.

Bob Buckley went on to become a rock musician/star with his band Spring in the latter sixties... After writing the Root Bear commercial and many more well known jingles, he now has a career writing music for films and can be found on the web at bobbuckley.com.

were not bad enough, in Hamburg, six boys contracted Mononucleosis and were all hospitalized. Arthur had entered the boys in the Kerkrade Music Festival again and he did not know if he should withdraw or stay! Hoping to turn the tide of the bad fortune that had befallen them, he decided to go to Kerkrade. In Kerkrade, the bands fortunes changed and they won the concert division with seventy-eight points, and the marching competition with ninety-eight points. It would be four years before Arthur would make another trip to Europe with his boys! Arthur would make five more trips to the old country with his boys. They were in 1966, 1968, 1970, 1972 and 1974. The trips

were all about two months in length. Short, by Arthur’s previous standards but fund raising was even harder in the sixties. Arthur was getting older as well; seventy-six, seventy-eight, eighty, eighty-two and eighty-four, on these trips. Why it is a wonder he was able to stay one step ahead of forty boys, even at sixty, let alone eighty-four. Boys were getting harder to find as well. Gone were the old days when he had his other bands to draw from for his Kitsie Boys. He had given them up in the nineteen- fifties. “Boys in the sixties have too many opportunities. Why, they go to Europe on their own now, They don’t need to join an organization to get them there!” For his last five trips, he had to go as far away as Chilliwack and Abbotsford, to find the players he needed to take on his trips. The trips all followed the same routine. A two week engagement playing small towns in either England or Scotland. One month doing a whirl-wind tour of European capital cities on the continent, winding up back in England, in the sleepy little English town of Dartmouth, for its regatta, the last two weeks of August. The only exception to the routine, was on Arthur’s last trip in 1974, when he decided he would go to Russia! The boys now flew to Europe. It was cheaper than the ocean liner, these days and did not take so long!

The band that had beaten them, was one of those big American bands, with over one hundred performers. “Why, they even had instruments, I’ve never heard of before!” Times had changed. Everyone was travellin now. Bands were on the march, with big organizations behind them. The days of the one man band, were fast disappearing and no one knew that better than Arthur Delamont. And the boys played on.... Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Hamburg, Cologne, Zurich, Geneva, Barcelona, Madrid, Nice,
Paris. Back in England, Arthur danced his way from town to town, brought children up to conduct the boys and endeared himself, in the hearts and minds of his boys and all those who came in contact with him! On the sixty-six, sixty-eight and seventy tours, Arthur brought his own manager along; one of his old boys from the sixty-two trip, Dave Mackenzie. The concert agents he had used in the thirties and fifties, were now promoting rock and roll bands in the sixties and they were springing up by the dozens. For the last two tours, in seventy-
two and seventy-four, two fellows shared the managerial duties. They were Glenn David and Mel Goodwyn. Back in Vancouver in 1968. “Why?” Arthur thundered! “Did you, you silly ass take a rest before that 2-4? Why, why?” The kid squirmed and clutched his trumpet. Then another lad played only a half note.

“Stop! Stop this mess, you.... What the.... No wonder your parents send you to me! But even I cannot perform miracles!” Further into Offenback, another boy missed the beat and Arthur exploded again.... “Oh my gosh, gosh! Gosh! Dash! Why boy?” “I was just blowing my nose.” “Well, next time let it run!” And so the rehearsals continued and Arthur’s bullying, raving and ranting and tender loving care, which made the band one of the best of its kind in the world, carried on as well! He never used words unfit for childrens ears but he always goshed and dashed to beat the band.

“Making music is not a bad way to go, now is it? You know, I don’t know any boy who ever played with this band, whoever got into trouble. I’d be unhappy if I knew. Working with them really is my reward. I like kids. All kids. All people!”
Kerkrade Tour
On January 23, 1968, fifteen hundred people turned out at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, to honour Arthur, the band and forty years of unparalled success. It soon developed into a musical extravaganza, as Arthur and his band were joined on stage by hundreds of Arthur’s old boys. They came from across Canada, the USA and even as far away as Europe, to honour

Arthur.
During a moment of carefully chosen words, a visibly moved Arthur said to the audience... “My Cup Runneth Over, especially tonight. I could never give this up. This is my life!” In 1980, Arthur received the order of Canada and in 1981, a park was named in his honour, in Kitsilano. The newspapers reported,
“One of Kitsilano’s Best Known, Best Loved Citizens.”
Arthur told one of his old boys a story one day, “In the 1960s, I used to go down to Disneyland at Christmas time, to hear the bands. One day, I made an appointment to see the music director about bringing a band down to play. He appeared interested. Finally, he said to me,”
“He is my son,” “From that moment on, I could have asked for the world. I was so proud that my son was so well known for his music texts, that were now in all the US schools and that he had never even heard of me!”
“What did you say your name was?” “Delamont!” “You’re not related to Gordon Delamont, the composer/arranger are you?”

Boys Win Praise
Our town has recently had a visit from your Kitsilano Boys’ Band and as it was arranged through this committee, we thought we would like to write to your paper to tell you how much we appreciate these visits (it is the second time they have been to Dartmouth). We hire various bands every year for our carnival. Some of them are extremely good but never have we had one to come up to the standard and versatility of these boys. It was the Dartmouth Royal Regatta week when the boys arrived and consequently there were a lot of visitors to the town but instead of watching the sailing they were grouped round the bandstand listening to the boys, and ever since people have been approaching us
and thanking us for getting the boys here. You must be very proud of having a band like this of your very own. Arthur Delamont is a credit to you. Where else could you find a man with the patience and stamina to coach a group of boys to the perfection they have reached! Throughout their stay here the boys conducted themselves with great decorum and in this day and age that is something that is not found often enough but as ambassadors of Canada they are “great.” We believe the boys will soon be home again and we are sure there will be a great welcome because they certainly deserve one.

Delamont! During rehearsal Delamont’s smile is like sunshine during a rainy Vancouver winter. Seldom there, but oh so magnificent when it appears. His grouchy image is just that. An image necessary to get the band in the mood to do it his way. When his band plays he wants people to say “that’s Delamont’s band!” Not to know them from their uniforms or the music they play, he’s satisfied only when you can recognize his band from around a corner. When you know it’s Delamont’s band from the sharp brassy sound you hear.

SHADES OF MARK TWAIN
as Samuel Clemens once said, “Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.” We blew it last week and mentioned the “late Arthur Delamont” in a story about the North Van Youth Band. (Of course we did’nt say what he was “late” for, did we?) At any rate, Mr. Delamont laughed with gusto when reporter Bev Brigham gave him the news. : I had’nt heard about it.” Delamont said from his Vancouver home. “but I guess you’d better tell them I’m alive and well.” ( In fact, he was just named to the prestigious Order of Canada.) Wednesday January 28, 1980, age 88.

ONE OF KITSILANO’S BEST KNOWN, BEST LOVED CITIZENS - Arthur Delamont was on hand Saturday to accept a handsome tribute from the city of Vancouver. The neighborhood park at 7th and Arbutus was officially named “Delamont Park” to honour the founder and still- active maestro of the world famous Kitsilano Boys’ Band.
On September 11, 1982, Arthur collapsed and died, while giving a speech at a Mason’s meeting in Vancouver. He had always said, that he wanted to go in front of his beloved audience. When his daughter Vera, went into his apartment afterwards, she discovered the music laid out for his own funeral. He had known that his work here on earth was finished and the time had come for him to meet his maker! Over the course of fifty years, Arthur’s band won over two hundred championships, made fourteen European tours and attended five World Fairs. His legacy is the thousands of boys who passed through his organization and the lives they lived as a result. Often the sons of his boys, went on to play with him as well. Over the years his boys became the whose-who, of the Canadian musical establishment, with his old boys filling the first chairs in symphony orchestras and jazz bands from coast to coast. Those who did not continue in music, became doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessmen and entrepreneurs, all living that much more rich and happier lives because they had known this man, they affectionately called Mr.D! -277-

Facts About The Tour (3 months and 4 days) This was the bands first tour of the Old Country. In order to play dates in the Old Country, due to the high level of musicianship by English bands, the boys had to have a letter of introduction from a higher authority, indicating their qualifications. This they got from none other than the Acting Agent-General for Canada in London, Mr. McAdams. The boys took three first place awards at the Bugle band festival in the West of England and it was the first time in the festivals history, that the trophies and plaques left British shores.

Some of the boys were suppose to have taken the Athenia from Liverpool but it was decided not to separate the band. The Athenia was sunk by a U-Boat and parents back home feared the worst. They could not be informed of the change due to a black out.

* The Band Library on the following pages, was donated to the University of British Columbia Music Department by the wife of Ken Sotvedt when he passed away in 2002. This list represents 1915 selections played by the Kitsilano Boys’ band between 1928 and 1960, half of the entire library. In 1960, Arthur Delamont gave Ken this part of his overall library, as he did not need the entire library anymore. The rest of the library which he kept, now belongs to the Metro Fire Department Band in Vancouver, which is made up of several of Arthurs’ old boys. Ken Sotvedt was one of Arthurs’ old boys, a music educator and the Director of the Vancouver Fire Department Band.
