"Surely the name "bandsman" comes from the days when ................
Kirsty"

BANDSMAN = BAN  DS  MA  N

BAN = STOP
DS = DEL SEGNO = START AGAIN
MA = MOTHER
N = NANO

BANDSMAN = STOP START AGAIN MOTHER NANO

"STOP START AGAIN" - A phrase heard from many an MD
"MOTHER NANO" - Renowned Italian mother who played 2nd Baritone for Verdi
when he conducted Pucini's La Boehme for the Roma Brassa Banda.

Ergo : BANDSMAN is a term of female gender.
