RMC sheet music - Military badges that appear on music
All,
I wrote this article featuring an early image of a Royal Military College of Canada badge on a piece of sheet music for e-veritas, the alumni journal of the RMC Club of Canada. http://everitas.rmcclub.ca/?p=29554 I'm curious about military badges that appear on other sheet music. Stories about sheet music related to the Canadian Military Colleges in particular could make good follow up articles in e-veritas. E3161 Victoria Edwards (RMC 2003) ‘The R.M.C. march & two step’ for piano by Mrs. Jessie Campbell Taylor was published by the National Litho. Co., circa 1900 in Toronto. It was dedicated to the Cadets of the Royal Military College, Kingston. A copy of the sheet music is located in the Sheet Music from Canada’s Past in Library and Archives Canada. Her son Lieutenant Rupert Warren Taylor of the Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment) served for 13 years as a Sgt with The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada Band. He enlisted in the 35th Bn (QOR), was subsequently commissioned, and then transferred to the 87th Bn. He was killed fighting with that unit at Vimy Ridge during the First World War on April 9, 1917 and he was buried in the Viliers cemetery.

The Royal Roads Military College (RRMC) band, consisting of 15 pipers and drummers and 30 brass-and-reed musician, recorded an LP in 1983-4. Petty Officer First Class Gabby R. Bruner, College bandmaster from 1979-85, composed `Hatley Park` as the official quick march for RRMC and `Dunsmuir Castle,` for the Visit of Queen Elizabeth to RRMC in 1983.
