 Disputes have been a feature of Oz brass band contests for quite a while.
See Barbara Turner's latest addition to our historical site

(http://www.optom.unsw.edu.au/public/bbhistory/StArn/StARNAUD.htm#In its

 to read about accusations that the Lord Nelson Miner's Band won a contest
in Geelong in 1899 with "professional players". The defense of the band and
its players by the mine manager make interesting reading.

These excellent photos and the accompanying summary of the history of this
band are provided courtesy of research by Barbara Turner and private
collectors.

PS We are still looking for input from anyone with digital images of bands
(or links to collections of same on the web), hopefully with names and
dates. The earlier the better.
