CHRISTMAS CHEER AT HOSPITALS
The band of the Auxiliary Medical Service will bring Christmas
cheer to several hospitals in a series of yuletide concerts beginning on December 15.
We do this every year in response to requests, and we find that the patients and staff look forward eagerly to this break from routine," says Ilajor G.F. Doggett, Medical Defence Staff Officer.
"The programmes blend well-known selections with a sprinkling of carols and some pop, because we find that we have to please all tastea."
Major Doggett says the AMS band is composed of 50 members, who train regularly, and who have a personal interest in music. They take part in numerous ceremonial occasions, and are always in demand.
The first concert this season will be given in the Ruttonjee Sanatorium and St. Paul's Hospital on Saturday, December 15, beginning at 10.30 a.m. and 3 p.m. respectively.
On December 19, the venues will be the Queen Elizabeth Hospital
in the morning, and the Kwong Wah Hospital in the afternoon.
The last concert will be for the benefit of patients and staff
at the Grantham Hospital on December 21, at 12.30 p.m.
