Neat old picture, but I don't think it's "our" band.

I seem to recall the Ottawa bus company called "Capital Coach Lines", which started in 1951.

And if I'm not mistaken, that is an original 1949 "Western Flyer Coach" bus.

(https://www.explorenorth.com/library/bus/western_flyer.html)

So my guess is that the photo is from the early 50's.

TheTech Band got the red military style uniforms shown in 1951, first seen when playing for Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh !!

Any surviving members from those lads shown in the picture would be in their 80's or so by now. [Thanks Norm for the math classes :-) ]

There were a couple of older lads came out to out Prescott gatherings - perhaps they would recognize the photo.

Perhaps DOUGLAS ARBUCKLE, BILL M0RRIS, BENNY GREENBURG, DICK STRUZINA, MERVYN WILCOX, JIM MILNE, JIM POTTER, GEORGE COLLINS, FRANK HARE, or ALLEN HUPE ??

Lots of other names from around then in the yearbook photos that Mike Billows pulled from the Archives.

And thanks to you Pops, for stirring up a bit of the good time memories I think we all share...

Best to all,
