Foreword We welcome you to the Pipe Band Centenary and hope that you thoroughly enjoy the various events planned for you. This book is a momento of your attendance at this important celebration. The St Andrew’s College Pipe Band has a special place in the hearts of many – membership of our band has led to lifelong friendships, wonderful memories of times spent playing and travelling together, and, the forging of a pastime or even a career in adulthood. The band is widely recognised as an significant source of pipers and drummers for adult bands within New Zealand and overseas, including Scotland. This book captures a snippet of the memories from 100 years of the Pipe Band through music and word. The first part is a small, but historically meaningful, selection of tunes composed for the band over the past century. Each piece of music is accompanied by the story behind its composition. Drum scores for some of the tunes are also included. The second part of the book is an account of the history of the band since its inception in 1919. It was researched and written by Pip Dinsenbacher. Drawing on the College archives, the four published histories of the College, unpublished memoirs and the Collegian magazines from 1920 until present day, the history is an extended version of the presentation to be given by our Rector, Christine Leighton, Pipe Band Director Richard Hawke and Chair of the Board of Governors, Bryan Pearson in the Centennial Chapel on Saturday 16 March 2019. We hope that the music and words will resonate with you long after the celebrations are over and serve as a special reminder of the Pipe Band Centenary weekend.

Pipers’ Song One hundred years of pipers one hundred years of drums one hundred years of friendship today we play as one. We’ve built a band of champions we hold them in our hands we mihi all things Scottish the waiata of our land. We grow the heart of St Andrew’s we carry it through the night we’ve drummed our boys to war we were there when they saw the light. We pipe StAC’s spirit forever we pipe with Her together we chant this prayer in chapel Fides et Patria. We pipe the path of excellence we pipe the path of trust we pipe the path of enduring faith there will always be enough. We’ll join you in the waka when you drift out to sea we’ll pipe you through the choppy swell we’ll truly set you free.

In 1929 TA Stuart Monteath, a staff member, wrote the words to the College Song, and the music was composed by Alfred Worsley, (music teacher at STAC for 25 years). Chris Stevens (Pipe Major 1975,1976 and Pipe Band Musical Director 2002-2005) arranged the song for the pipes.

When he arrived at the College he was immediately given the nickname of Og. Gordon joined the staff of St Andrew's College in 1969 as Head of the English Department. He was master in charge of the Pipe Band for nearly two decades from 1970-1987. Gordon's other notable contribution to the College is without doubt as the author of the massive tome "High Flies the Cross", an entertaining and amusing history of the College republished for the 90th Jubilee in 2007. In 1969, Gordon was Pipe Major of the City of Christchurch which won the National B Grade Championship. Gordon's recordings of him accompanying (on the chapel's pipe organ) Bill Boyle on pipes are legendary.

StAC Attack was first conceptualised in 2000 by Jeremy McLaughlin (Drum Sergeant 2000-2003). His brother Ben (Pipe Major 2005) was 12 years old at the time and Jeremy had just completed his Year 10 at St Andrew's College. Jeremy had an intriguing rhythm in his head and asked for Ben's assistance putting together a melody accompaniment. Upon hearing what could only be described as a monotone hum in a key not yet discovered by any traditional instrument, this turned out to be more difficult than first thought. Eventually, after having the rhythm literally drummed into his head, the melody inspiration came to Ben. The tune and name would go on to be the signature of the annual St Andrew's College Pipe Band concert. StAC Attack was first conceptualised in 2000 by Jeremy McLaughlin (Drum Sergeant 2000-2003).

1919–1928 There’s a shriek, a ghostly murmur, Like a lost soul in despair, And a weird, wild, wistful wailing Cuts the stillness of the air A mournful, throbbing whisper, Like a death-cry at its height: Then a sound like an angel singing, And the pipes are tuned just right So wrote James Robert Little, Head Prefect 1928 and Pipe Major of the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band (1928). The establishment of the Pipe Band is unique in our College history as it came into being through a direct request made by the boys to our first Rector, Sydney Dickinson. In his July 1919 report to the Board, Dickinson wrote:

There is a strong desire amongst the boys to have a Pipe Band and little difficulty would be experienced in getting a number of boys to have lessons at once. Pipe Major James Erskine of the Canterbury Caledonian Society Pipe Band volunteered as piping tutor; Mr Bill Fowler would assist with drumming and piping sessions.Two original members of the band, N D Hood and G B MacGibbon reported on the Pipe Band in the 1920 Collegian magazine:

We have one of the ablest instructors in town, and great pains are taken to instruct each boy individually.

18

In a month or two we hope to be able to play in public, without fear of calamity. There were 16 boys in the first band, all novices, apart from three competent pipers, and three competent drummers, including a young boy named Alastair Hilson, who, in his memoirs wrote:

I was a foundation member, a little drummer boy who spent his first six months of training away back in 1920 with his head through a round-back kitchen chair, learning beatings on the wooden seat, and using rosewood sticks that were as heavy as those used today are light. My elder brother learnt the chanter at the same time. Teaching and practice mainly took place off-site at the Caledonian Society’s Hall in Kilmore Street. Old or extra instruments from the Society were generously loaned to St Andrew’s College, and by 1920, two members of the band had their own personal set of pipes. The band was also presented with a side drum which had been played throughout WWI to escort the Canterbury contingents from Christchurch City to the transports taking them overseas. The lack of instruments, and no doubt, their fledging piping and drumming skills, prevented the early band from making any public performances. However, by late 1921, after leading the Cadet Company on route marches on several occasions, the Pipe Band made its first public appearance at the College Sports Day in 1921. Band member, D McCrostie reported that the band ‘judging by what we hear, made a good impression’.


In 1922 for the first time, the band, including some novice players known affectionately as ‘the Pot and Pan Nervebreaker Band’, led the full Cadet Company in the ANZAC Day Parade. By 1923, the status of the band was confirmed when it replaced the bugle unit in leading the Cadet Company at important events such as the guard of honour for the visit of the Governor-General, ANZAC Day Parade, and the Knox Church social. The most notable player was G J Merret who could ‘knock out of his pipes an unaccountable number of tunes, including the latest fox trots, jazzes and dances’. The band received their first kilts in 1924 – the Fergusson tartan, chosen by the second Rector A K A Anderson as a restrained, servicable pattern, which honoured GovernorGeneral Sir Charles Fergusson and coincidentally, was the tartan of a generous College Board member. The kilts completed the look of military styled tunics, Glengarry fore and after peaked hats, half hose with spats and sporrans.

As the first decade of the band neared its end, appeals for new members were made to those boys ‘who have an ear for music, and who intend to stay at school for another three or four years, to think the matter over, but bear in mind, however, that constant steady practice was essential’. Regarding those essential attributes, nothing changed over the following 90 years.

1929–1938 The first ten years of the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band grew out from the lingering shadow cast by the Great War and into the hope and optimism of the 1920s.

In 1925, band members thought ‘it would greatly add to the appearance of the band if the bass drummer wore a tiger skin, but so far no tigers have offered their services’.

However, a darker period loomed in the next decade when economic hardship threatened the existence of St Andrew’s College, and, the rise of facism in Europe would lead to war once again, with devastating consequences for our early students and their families.

In 1927, the founder of the band, Pipe Major James Erskine, retired after building the band into an integral part of College life – he was replaced by Pipe Major Fowler of the Scottish Society and the band’s founding drum and piping tutor. And so began the pattern of dedicated instructors and band masters seamlessly handing over their duties to those more than equal to the task.

From 1929, membership of the Pipe Band increased, necessitating the production of new uniforms and the acquisition of new instruments. A piping competition was added to the events held on the annual College Sports Day with the winner being presented with a medal by Pipe Major Fowler. Assisting his former instructor with drumming tuition at this time was original band member, Old Collegian Alastair Hilson.

The 1931 Collegian describes the following:

At the Winter Gardens on the occasion of the Old Boys’ Dance, amid shouts of Hurrah!, and loud clapping, a section of the Pipe Band, in full regalia, entered, and after marching up and down several times, halted at the farther end of the hall. Here they played a waltz and were well applauded. After playing an encore, they marched from the end of the hall, and as the Old Boys gave the College haka, the band retired for supper, lauded as ‘the event of the evening’. As hard economic times hit, Alastair Hilson or GAM (as he was affectionately known) played a pivotal role in the history of our College. In 1933, along with Board member, George Morton Smith, GAM organised a fair ‘to save the school from extinction’. He rallied over 400 Old Boys to collect a massive amount of produce and saleable items. The fair was a two-day extravaganza over Founders’ Weekend – the resulting funds re‑balanced the College books and GAM, at 26 years of age, was immediately invited on to the College Board. The years before the outbreak of war in 1939 were demanding on the Pipe Band members as they tried to meet commitments to play at many community events as well as attend to their studies. For example, the 1933 band, comprising six pipers under Pipe Major P W Hilson and seven drummers under Drum Major C A Burmister, not only led the Prime Minister of New Zealand and the Mayor of Christchurch to the official platform at the aforementioned fair, but also played on 13 different occasions throughout the year, including at the Old Boys’ Dance, the visit of the then captain of the English cricket team D R Jardine, the St Bede’s College Fête, and even a Girl Guide rally at the private residence of Mrs Cracroft Wilson. By 1937, the menace of possible war was affecting the band’s level of tuition, particularly as Ministry of Defence staff were called to other duties rather than tutoring school boys to march precisely and present themselves smartly. However, as war neared, patriotism and a cohort of enthusiastic new recruits boosted the numbers of band members, and the standard of piping and drumming was restored.

1939–1948 The six years of war which began this third decade of the Pipe Band’s history left an indelible mark on St Andrew’s College, its community, and our nation. In his excellent summary of the first 75 years of the College Band, Mr Tom Weir wrote:

20

When New Zealand went to war in support of Britain and her allies, many of the adult pipe bands in Christchurch went to some degree into recess as their members went overseas with units of the armed services. Among these defence units were former St Andrew’s Pipe Band members, who with their fellow College classmates were to make up a cohort comprising of at least 656 Old Collegians known to have enlisted in the armed services during WWII, along with eight College staff members, including Rector J B Mawson. Of those Old Collegians who enlisted, 61 lost their lives and 21 were taken prisoner. Two staff members died serving their country and 34 Old Collegians were awarded military decorations. For a small school, St Andrew’s war record was impressive. Tom Weir continued:

… many social and military types of activity were taken over by the College band. In parallel, there was even more pressure on the band’s resources to meet the standards of discipline now based on heavy military preparation. Marching, dress, and discipline became the sole office of G A M Hilson, who as drill instructor would demand as high a standard as any regimental sergeant major, especially when the College boys were most seen at the head of a cadet unit or an army troop. In this environment of uncertainty and militarism, Bill Fowler and G A M Hilson still maintained a strong band core through the war. To these two people go the highest praise for their strong beliefs and the unwilting commitment that would see many a young lad prepared for what one day may be active duty. However, for a time, the band, like the College cadets, performed in mufti as the government called up all military uniforms to clothe the troops. The 1940 Collegian reports that the 14-strong Pipe Band ‘had the honour of playing recruits for the Forces from King Edward Barracks to the Railway Station’. The 1940 band took part in the New Zealand Centennial Procession, the parade of the Scottish Regiment, Red Cross galas, a fête in aid of Patriotic Funds, and continued to be involved in several military functions in the city in connection with the departure of troops. These engagements were often in members’ own time. Many of the 1940 band returned to form the 1941 band which was described in the 1942 Collegian as the best the College had ever had, crediting the continued teaching and training of G A M Hilson and Bill Fowler alongside the ‘keenness and diligence of the boys themselves’.


This success brought new rewards for the band – not the least participating in a radio broadcast on station 3YA, having a recording made, and being filmed by Old Collegian F A Bull. Throughout this time, a sense of normality was maintained at the College when the Pipe Band played at Sports Day, Knox Church Service Parade, and the annual break-up. In 1943, Band Master, Bill Fowler, who had been piping tutor and previously drumming tutor for well over 20 years, relinquished his position to Mr W S (Bill) Johnstone Pipe Major of the Scottish Society’s Pipe Band. After a vigorous recruitment drive by G A M Hilson, the numbers of band members increased in 1944–1945, however, the shortage of uniforms meant the actual number of boys playing in the band was limited. In fact, GAM lent his own army uniform to the Drum Major in order to slightly alleviate the situation. The lack of uniforms meant a group of players known as Reserve Members could only play with the band when a full‑time member was absent. In 1946, the band had a new Band Room with racks, cupboards, pegs, and space for every article of equipment. This was also the year a young 11-year-old Paddy Hilson, the son of GAM and Grace Hilson, made his debut as a piper at St Andrew’s. Easter that year heralded a new focus for the Pipe Band – their first entry into a New Zealand Championship contest which was held in Timaru. Their record in the contest was as follows: First – B Grade Street March Third – B Grade Quickstep and highest points in Drill First – Drum Major Competition (open class) In considering these results, bear this in mind – there were 25 band members; 15 were pipers; seven of those pipers were unable to play the pipes the previous Christmas. In three months, they learnt to play nine tunes to a standard acceptable for a New Zealand contest. Eleven-year-old Paddy Hilson won a prize for the youngest piper at the competition. Drum Major E W Musgrove not only won the open class Drum Majors competition but had the honour of leading the Massed Bands in the final parade of the competition. However, their Easter didn’t end there, the full band paraded for a church service on Easter Sunday, travelled to Fairlie on Easter Monday to lead the Grand Parade at the Mackenzie County Highland Show. On Easter Tuesday morning they played for the patients of Timaru Hospital, and in the afternoon were the guests

of the captain and crew of a visiting Royal Navy sloop. Here they were called on to play again and were very well received. The following year, New Zealand schools opened late, due to a polio epidemic. The band had only two weeks to prepare for the Otago Centennial Pipe Band Contest, however, awards were won and so was consolidated the reputation of the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band as one to be watched. The turbulent demanding war years were over … the College and its band were marching towards its fourth decade….

1949–1958 In April 1949 an important event took place – the official handing over of new uniforms to the Pipe Band – a complete set of 36 new uniforms. Rector L Stewart said in his speech that day:

This is a red letter day in the history of the Pipe Band, an occasion made possible by the generosity of the parents, Old Boys, and friends of the College … today I am conscious mainly of our indebtedness to you, and of the liberality, loyalty, and sympathetic understanding which has followed this College since its foundation ... I assure you that these uniforms will be worn with pride. The new uniforms, which replaced the original set presented in the early 1920s, cost £750 (equivalent to $24,000 today). G A M Hilson wrote in his memoirs, “I could write chapter after chapter on the band and its achievements but I must of necessity make a much reduced reference”. Naturally the early years saw many ‘firsts’, and the following pages mainly concentrate on the oustanding individuals and bands. No history of the Pipe Band can bypass the band of 1951. With G A M Hilson’s eldest son Paddy as Pipe Major and R L C Wilson as Drum Major the St Andrew’s College pipers and drummers competed against 17 other bands from all over New Zealand in the B Grade of the Dominion Pipe Band Contest held at Lancaster Park. Of the ten events in which they were judged, the band won six; their aggregate points meant they won the overall B Grade Championship. And so, the bar was set for generations of St Andrew’s College bands to follow. The Collegian reports rather matter-of-factly on this success, in amongst the other

21


events of that year. The College piping contest results record the success of Euan Hilson as winner of the intermediate piping competition, and also lists a young piper Gordon Ogilvie amongst the band’s ranks. More of these two in future years!

Perhaps a highlight of 1961 was the acquisition of the elusive ‘tiger skin’ to be used by the tenor and bass drummers … however, close inspection of photos from that time reveal it to in fact be a rather spotty leopard skin.

The Band continued to prosper through the 1950s.

In 1966, Pipe Major Bruce Richardson distinguished himself as a solo piper, and led the band when it performed in front of the Queen Mother on a Royal Visit. Then, as the Royal Yacht Britannia sailed out of Lyttelton Harbour, the College Pipe Band, on board a tug boat, played a bracket of music to the Queen Mother. She later sent her special thanks for the moving farewell from our local shore.

Such was the comaraderie among pipers that the band was often assisted by bandsmen from other city bands. Pipe Major Joe Patterson not only helped Bill Johnstone tune the boys’ pipes at major competitions but composed several tunes for the band including The St Andrew’s College March. He also composed a tune in honour of G A M Hilson, which continues to this very day to be played bracketed with the College March. In late March 1957, Paddy Hilson, the Pipe Major who led the 1951 band to their great national contest success, lost his life in a tragic flying accident. His father’s memoirs recall that Paddy was accorded a full military funeral. Paddy attended St Andrew’s College for eleven years, he was the Dux of the Preparatory School and a prefect of the College. He graduated from the Royal Australian Air Force Academy, receiving his wings and graduation diploma from the Duke of Edinburgh in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. His father describes this Royal presentation as one of the family’s proudest moments. Early in 1958, after a year long construction with the help of voluntary labour, a new Band Room was opened. Several sets of pipes were presented to the band on this occasion, including those belonging to Paddy Hilson. The new Band Room was enhanced with a Band Roll of Honour, a cabinet for trophies, and a display case for medals.

1959–1968 The next decade was full of the usual round of garden parties, band competitions, College commitments, and community events. The band forwent attending the Nationals in the early 60s due to the cost of travelling to the venues and the unsuitablility of dates. The combination of Bill Johnstone as piping instructor and G A M Hilson continued to maintain the band’s high standards and reputation. Awards at the National Championships became scarce – one of the reasons being that for years, the band automatically suffered a five point penalty for incorrect dress, luckily this penalty was lifted in 1965 and the band gained several good places thereafter. However, a change in the National Competitions dates in 1966, very close to the start of the school year, also impacted on the band’s results.

22

In 1967 Old Collegian Paul White began his long stint as a piping instructor, patiently working with beginners to bring them to a stage where they could be involved in a band.

1969–1978 The 50th year of the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band was a time for remembering, renewal, and regrouping. Incorporated into the 50th Jubilee Weekend was the opening of a new Band Room, along with the presentation of new uniforms and new drums, all in memory of Richard Askin, the Pipe Major of the band in 1964. Of Richard Askin, G A M Hilson wrote:

… he was a fine marcher, a born leader who lead more by example than noise, an excellent piper, and one whom anyone in my position would have no hesitation in promoting to Pipe Major ... it was a great tragedy when just a few years after he left the College, he was killed in a motor accident. The generous gift was made by Richard Askin’s family. It was complemented by gifts from the families of other previous band members who had passed away, and by groups of former band members wishing to remember their particular years together. A small book of pipe music was published with all tunes composed by people closely connected to the College. It included four tunes composed as tributes to particular people – they are entitled GAM Hilson Esq; Bill Johnstone’s Fancy; Noel Mangin’s Delight, and Pipe Major Richard Askin. The Collegian report ends with the following:

Fifty years from now the present members of the band will be hobbling along to the Pipe Band Centenary. The Richard Askin Band Room will still be standing,


being used by the bands of the future, as a memorial to Richard Askin, the other past members of the band who have passed away, and a reminder of all the work that went into the Pipe Band Jubilee. Sadly, seismic events got in the way of that wish, although Richard Askin remains the namesake of the new Pipe Band Centre. Now a brief mention of a young piper in the 1951 champion band named Gordon Ogilvie. After leaving St Andrew’s, he graduated from Canterbury University and embarked on a teaching career in England and New Zealand, finally taking up the position of Head of Department of English at St Andrew’s College in 1969. He had maintained his piping interests – indeed in 1969 he was Pipe Major of the City of Christchurch which won the National B Grade Championship. Naturally G A M Hilson and Bill Johnstone welcomed their ex-pupil with open arms, and Gordon was soon teaching piping. G A M Hilson had been contemplating easing himself out of his involvement in the band, and in Gordon Ogilvie he saw a man ideally suited as his successor. In 1971 G A M Hilson retired from all his duties at the College – knowing himself too well, he cut ties completely as he explains in his memoir, in order to avoid ‘interfering in a job I had already handed over’. G A M Hilson is legendary in the history of this College, his legacy undeniable, a true servant of the band and the College, as the Pipe Band report in the 1971 Collegian states:

His tireless energy and enthusiasm is an inspiration to band members – suffice to say that the band would not be the force it is today, without his drive and determination. The band played for the Queen, Prince Charles, and Princess Anne at the 1970 Canterbury A&P Show. In 1971 six pipers at the funeral of the fourth Rector L W Stewart led the coffin from the Memorial Chapel over the Strowan Stream bridge, and then joined the whole band to play as the hearse was driven down the drive in a moving farewell to the man fondly and simply remembered as Les. In 1973 the band marched to Captain Cook’s statue in Victoria Square to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the first bagpipe recital in New Zealand, given in 1773 to tangata whenua in Dusky Sound by Piper Archibald McVicar aboard Cook’s Resolution. The band played a commemorative march Salute to Archibald McVicar composed by William Boyle. During the 70s the Band continued to compete and perform with success. Individual members starred at solo competitions – in a rare distinction, David Solomon won the open staff flourishing title at the Nationals

three years running, in 1973 Pipe Major Greg Reynolds won the B Grade National solo piping title and became the first College piper to reach A Grade status while still at school; in 1976, among the placegetters of the St Andrew’s College annual solo piping competition was a young Richard Hawke, who won the senior title the following year, and, would become Pipe Major in 1980. One family featured in numbers during this decade. Tom Weir wrote:

A whole family of Forresters took senior responsibilty within the ranks of the band. Robert was Pipe Major in 1974; Mark was Pipe Sergeant in 1978; Bruce was Drum Major in 1977–1978, winning the New Zealand Staff Flourishing in 1977; and Stuart was Pipe Corporal in 1975. During this period their father, Old Collegian, Leicester helped tutor the pipers. In 1977 the band received its second leopard skin. In the same year, the Collegian reports that the Band collected ‘its usual two trophies at the Nationals – the Best Dressed College Band and the College Band Winning the Most Points in the Quickstep and Selection’.

1979–1988 1979 was the Pipe Band’s Diamond Jubilee, and also marked the retirement of Mr Bill Johnstone who had dedicated 35 years to the band, not only as an inspirational instructor but a dear friend and mentor to many band members. G A M Hilson writes of Bill:

In all those years of association with him, I knew I always had him right behind me.... The boys came to love him. He had a nickname for all of them – a big boy would be ‘wee McTavish’, a ginger haired one probably ‘Snowy’ and so on. He knew all their family history. He was interested in them all, and I am sure that many a parent has good reason to thank him for the excellent influence he exerted over the boys. In 1980, a line of thanks in the Collegian expresses graitude to Bill’s wife, Mrs Mabel Johnstone, who that year retired from her job as overseer of the band uniform squad – one can only imagine how many hours in the previous 40 years Mrs Johnstone had spent mending, adjusting, and ironing the band’s uniforms. In 1982 the band farewelled our fifth Rector, Ian Galloway, marching him up the drive on his ceromonial exit from St Andrew’s College after 20

23


years leading the College – and three weeks later, they ushered into his first assembly, his successor, Dr John Rentoul. The Collegian reported:

As Dr and Mrs Rentoul were from another Presbyterian College they were mercifully accustomed to sudden penetrating noises and took the welcome in their stride. In 1986 the band went on its very first overseas tour – two weeks to Australia – 21 bandsmen, one Highland dancer, five tutors, and 21 relatives. The tour coincided with Adelaide hosting a promotional ‘Christchurch Week’. A full report in the Collegian highlights many wonderful playing and tourist experiences for the boys, standouts amongst them seem to be meeting Miss New Zealand Lynda McManus; wine tasting in the Barossa Valley; various meetings and coperformances with the touring Rangi Ruru Girls’ School Chorale; visits to the War Museum and the Burns Club in Canberra; and an hour long recital in front of the Sydney Opera House. The report claims, The St Andrew’s College may well go on other overseas trips, but there will never be another like the first.’ Bouyed by its memorable Australian tour, the band performed remarkably well at the National Championships the following year, and, for the first time since 1951, won the National Championship, taking out the Grade 3 aggregate by a margin of 40 points and was awarded the Seagrams special Prize for Musicianship at the end of the contest. Drum Major of the 1987 band was Alistair Duthie who in 1988 joined the Pipes and Drums of the 1st Battalion Black Watch, the first ever British Army Pipe Band formed in 1739. He served with the British army until 2009, by which time he was the Pipe Major of the 51st Highland Regiment. Currently the Pipe Major of Perth and District Band, Alistair now teaches piping and researches the history of Black Watch piping. 1987 was to be Gordon Ogilvie’s last year as band master. He began his band career as a young piper in the 1951 band and he was delighted to end it with another national win! His magnificent official farewell celebrated a 40 year connection to the band.

1989–1998 The new decade began with another second place at the National Championships in 1989 and another tour to Australia in 1990.

The appointment of Mr Barry Shaw as band master in 1991 acknowledged his proven ability as a piping tutor and organiser of the band. The teacher-incharge of the band in this era was Mr Drummond Thompson, a skilled administrator who would, in his good humoured way, keep the band ticking along in the face of some dramatic changes ahead. The return flight of the 1992 band from the Nationals in Auckland saw the passengers entertained by the Air New Zealand hostesses and Pipe Major Neil Baxter dancing down the plane’s aisle to the accompaniment of Richard Hawke’s pipes – maybe this was a live precursor to the Air New Zealand safety videos. There was a change in the air during the early nineties – in 1991 Rosie Hobbs (neé Heaney) joined the tutor team as the first female pipe tutor, then, in the 1992 Collegian, mention is made of 31 band members travelling to Nelson to the solo piping and mini band competition and notes:

Elizabeth Drury, who sometimes plays in our band, but was playing for the Caledonian Society in Nelson, won six events and was awarded the Challenge Trophy for B Grade Piping, and the Roger Gill Trophy for C Grade Piping. Elizabeth enrolled in the Senior College in 1992 and was the first girl in the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band. By 1994, there were five girls in the band – Bridget Dicker was the Pipe Major of the Junior Pipe Band. Instructor Tom Weir notes in his history of the band that the inclusion of girls enhanced both the ambition and the motivation within the band, and increased the level of ability in the drum corps. The Drum Major of the the band in 1994 was Ali Ikram who, under the masterful tutition of Mr Gordon Steel of the Canterbury Caledonian Society Pipe Band, and Old Collegian David Solomon, won the staff flourishing competition at the Nationals while the band placed second in Grade 3. This year was the 75th Jubilee of the band, celebrated in September with a reunion weekend and a series of successful activities. The year of 1996 will long be remembered by the band members for tremendous success at competitions – for the third time in its history the band won Grade 3 at the National competitions – winning by 53 points, this magnificent effort was cause for much celebration and cemented St Andrew’s College Pipe Band as the finest school band in the country. In 1997, the band repeated the achievement. Overseas tours by the band became regular events – in 1993 the band, along with the College Stage Band,


toured Japan and in 1998 they had a ten day non-stop adventure on tour to Malaysia and Singapore. We acknowledge now that band of gentlemen who dedicated countless hours voluntarily to tutor and mentor band members, as they supported and assisted band masters during the previous three decades. They were prominent, top-level bandsmen who brought their expertise and experience, enthusiasm, dynamism and discipline to St Andrew’s College pipers and drummers. Frank Annan John Dingwall Euan Dunlop

Ian Steele Tom Weir Ross Wilson

We also are grateful for the services and talents of the many other instructors and adminstrators of the band who gave so generously of their time.

1999–2008 After ten years at the helm of the band, Mr Barry Shaw retired from his role early in 1999. It should be noted that throughout all the years, parents and supporters did huge work behind the scenes ensuring that the band was the best it could be, and the students could concentrate on playing and performing. Fundraising for travel and accommodation was constantly underway, and the prospect of new uniforms, and a possible extension to the Band Room certainly occupied many parents and supporters at this time. A highlight of every year was the band’s performance outside the Town Hall for the Annual Prizegiving, the Pipe Major’s solo piping within the ceremony captured the audience, as did the full band joining College musical groups for The Day Thou Gavest Lord Has Ended, now the only option as a finale for every Prizegiving. Pipe Band history was made in 2002 when Kim Knight, the 2001 Pipe Sergeant, was made Pipe Major. At the National Championships that year, St Andrew’s College won the inaugural Juvenile Grade Championship by a large margin. Pipe Major Kim Knight was the first recipient of a beautiful dirk previously owned and worn by Mr Rob Shand and present by his wife Mrs Moya Shand and family in his memory. This dirk has been presented to all Pipe Majors since. By its ninth decade, it was now a common occurrence to see the third generation of band families joining its ranks, with the second generation taking on roles as tutors and parent committee members.

In the case of the band’s musical director from 2002– 2004 Chris Stevens, his father Peter was a College prefect and Pipe Major in 1949; Chris himself was Pipe Major in 1976; his bother Ian was Pipe Corporal in 1979; his son Michael was Pipe Sergeant in 2004 and his younger son Scott was Drum Sergeant for three years, 2005–2007. In 2003, solo piping was added to the band’s tuition options. This was taught by Old Collegian Richard Hawke, described in the 1993 Collegian as being ‘in the top echelon of pipers worldwide’. It is not surprising that St Andrew’s College solo pipers began to make a significant impact on competition results. Great hopes for improvement in the overall piping in the band were anticipated. By Term 2 2005, Richard Hawke, highly respected as being in the top echelon of pipers world-wide, was appointed Pipe Band Director and so began the latest era in our Pipe band history. In 2006, James Laughlin arrived from Ireland to take up the position as side drumming tutor. At the time, James played with the World Championship winning band, the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band from Vancouver. Solo piping results in 2005 were unprecedented – with Pipe Corporal Jamie Hawke and Pipe Major Benjamin McLaughlin both being promoted to the A Grade. Consistently winning Grade 3 and Juvenile National titles, the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band was on a steady path towards the ultimate competition – the World Championships! In 2007, the management of the band was re‑structured and the opportunity taken to expand horizons with the full-time permanent employment of the band’s Director and tutors by St Andrew’s College. And so it was that the band made its first ever trip to Scotland, to attend the 2007 World Pipe Band Championships. In the 90th year of the College, the band achieved third place in the world Juvenile grade, attracting national and international news coverage. Our school song was performed in public on Scottish soil for the first time when the band took part in the international Piping Live Festival in Glasgow. With 90 members, the band was the largest single band organisation in the country. Soloists continue to succeed, particularly Drum Sergeant Tom Hill who was promoted to Grade A side drumming during 2007. The following year, not only did the band win the Juvenile Grade and College events, but were re‑graded up to Grade 2 – a real challenge, but one they met head on, winning the Grade 2 street march and coming second equal overall in Grade 2.

2009–2019 Early in 2009 the band won the New Zealand Grade 2 Championship – an outstanding achievement for students competing in an open grade. A lot of this success can be attributed to the emphasis on individual development – the regular attendance at solo competitions throughout the country lifted the standard of the whole band. Well established by this time were the STAC Attack concerts, which take their name from a catchy tune composed by brothers, 2001–2003 Pipe Sergeant Jeremy, and, 2005 Pipe Major Ben McLaughlin. These concerts continue to showcase massed bands and drums, with performances by members from the Preparatory School through to the Senior College. Alongside the competitions and big concerts are the usual school and community commitments like Sports Day, Founders’ Day, ANZAC Day, the A&P Show Grand Parade, Ceilidh, assemblies and of course the Annual Prizegiving. In 2010, the band returned to Scotland where they placed fifth in the Juvenile Grade, competing against 26 bands. Evocative images of the band, boys and girls, playing amongst the ruins of the Old Abbey at St Andrews make one think of those boys so long ago, asking their Rector if they could please have a Pipe Band here at the College … one little drummer boy in particular would have loved to have heard the School Song echoing around those ancient stones. And then, 2011. The 22 February earthquake tested everyone in Christchurch that day. For the band, it meant they lost their home of 42 years, as the Richard Askin Pipe Band Room was deemed irrepairable and was demolished. Pipe Band members were able to continue learning and practising in the College’s Music Department and two portacoms. Despite this disruption, the band increased in numbers to 140 students involved in band activities at various levels. The band farewelled long time friend, former Musical Director and tutor, Mr Barry Shaw, in 2011, whose special skill was to encourage younger pipers in the initial stages of their learning while establishing strong bonds with their parents. Fostering such relationships early built the ethos of hard work and community within the band, seeing many students maintaining a ten year association with the Pipe Band during their time at the College. A highlight of the year was Ben Murray winning the Comunn na Piobaireachd Silver Medal – a very prestigious award which qualified Ben to compete in Gold Medal competitions. At the leading Canterbury

26

solo piping competition Ben was awarded the William Boyle Memorial Foundation Scholarship based on Under 21 years results for the year over the major competitions throughout New Zealand. In 2011, Pipe Band Director Richard Hawke, received a New Zealand Order of Merit for services to pipe bands after a career in piping spanning over 30 years. Considered one of the world’s greatest competitive solo pipers, Richard has won the Northern Meeting A Grade MSR, Oban Gold Medal, Dunvegan Medal, Braemar Gathering Gold Medal (twice), as well as several other prestigious titles. He has won over 20 New Zealand solo piping championships, and as a tutor has had students win the Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Silver Chanter, and several other New Zealand and international championships. Forty five years after he was first engaged as a piping tutor, Mr Paul White retired in 2012 from teaching generations of College pipers. Old Collegian Paul was a piper in the band from 1955–1957. As a tutor of learner pipers, he was patient and kind – a loyal, dedicated true servant of St Andrew’s College. Mr Graeme Bryce was appointed to the newly established position of Pipe Band Manager in 2012. Graeme hails from Fife in Scotland and is piper of immense talent and experience, with strong interpersonal and organisational skills. In 2012, fifteen solo pipers and drummers took part in an online World Solo Piping and Drumming Competition, submitting their video entry via YouTube. Five won first place in their grade and the remainder all placed higher than seventh. Pipe Major Ben Murray continued to be a standout in not only this online contest but in real life as well. It was time to go back to the World Championships in Scotland! And so it happened … In the 2013 Collegian, Pipe Band Director, Richard Hawke, writes:

2013 will forever be etched into the history books for the St Andrew’s College Pipe Band after winning the 2013 Juvenile Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow. This achievement was hugely significant for the individuals involved, for the College and for all New Zealand pipe bands. The win represented the first World Championship won by any New Zealand pipe band at any level. After eight years of being New Zealand Champions at the Juvenile (U18) level, this World Championship confirms St Andrew’s College Pipe Band as one of the very best Pipe Band institutions in the world. In 2014, Richard Hawke received further recognition of his commitment to piping as one of only eight recipients to be selected for an Independent Schools


of New Zealand (ISNZ) Honours Award. The ISNZ Honours Awards were established to honour exceptional staff who demonstrate talent, service, and commitment to independent schools which is truly above the ordinary. Hawke received his ISNZ Honour Award from the then Minister of Education Hekia Parata.

And so we come to 2019, and our current band. The 2019 Pipe Major is Noah Clarke, who began learning the pipes when a young student in the Preparatory School. The Drum Sergeant is Monte Stamm, who has chosen to attend St Andrew’s College and play in our Pipe Band from his hometown of Albury NSW Australia.

Rector Christine Leighton says St Andrew’s is very fortunate to have a leader of Richard’s calibre in charge of the College’s Pipe Band. “This award recognises the services Richard has made to pipe bands not only at St Andrew’s, but nationally and internationally. His commitment to his craft is unquestionable.”

Among the current band members, Pipe Sergeant Campbell Wilson has already achieved many outstanding solo piping results both in New Zealand and in Scotland. He was promoted to A Grade last year and was the youngest ever piper to win the Highland Piping Society of Canterbury’s Silver Chanter. Earlier this year, he placed in the New Zealand Championship Open 2/4 March.

Gordon Ogilvie’s magnificent contribution to St Andrew’s College was recognised at the 2016 Founders’ Day Assembly, and the College community were honoured that his family chose to celebrate his life in the Centennial Chapel when he passed away in October 2017.

Of course, the 2019 band members enjoy the distinction of belonging to the Centenary Band of our College. This band, just as each of the bands before them, provides a strong, unbroken thread linking students and staff right back to the band’s formation in 1919, and, continues to be the beloved sound of St Andrew’s College.

BAN D

The band has returned to the World Championships in Scotland twice since 2013 – in 2015 and again in 2018 when they were runners-up – a remarkable achievement, which maintains St Andrew’s College Pipe Band in a unique position in the pipe band community of New Zealand and in the top Juvenile rankings of the world.

Iona Taylor, who has been the Bass Drummer in the band for the last two years, is also a highly regarded vocalist whose hauntingly beautiful renditions of beloved Scottish ballads have been a feature of many College events, particularly the College Centenary in 2017.

PIPE

The construction of a new Pipe Band facility, commissioned by the College, was completed late in 2014. After several years operating out of portacoms, the band welcomed this purpose-built building as their new home. It was officially opened the following year and named the Askin Pipe Band Centre.

COLLEGE

Louis Newman has competed at three World Championships and was Pipe Major for the third year running in 2018 and recalls :

The atmosphere at the Worlds is electric. To have the opportunity to be surrounded by so many of the bands and players we idolise from video clips on the other side of the world is a truly remarkable sensation. It is a fitting tribute to Richard Hawke, James Laughlin and the tutors that we performed so well on the world stage. Also competing at three World Championships in Scotland was 2018 Drum Sergeant Patrick Moran who is about to commence his tertiary music study in drum performance at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Of Patrick, James Laughlin, Head of Pipe Band Drumming comments:

He has left a notable legacy here at St Andrews and contributed greatly to the future generations of drummers in our community. His drive, passion and humility will create many great opportunities for Patrick in the years to come.
