All we know about the Ashby School is that it was located in Geelong. They had a traditional British school uniform. Available portraits show the band in the 1930s with large drums and brass instruments which seem to suggest that they were a marching band or at least a sports pep band. The Ashbu Shool had quite a large school band.
