One of e^even teams taking part in a street march contest held in Palmerston North on Saturday, the Bandoliers Marching Team, although credited with a pleasing performance, did not occupy a very prominent place when the results were announced. The team later took part in displays on the showgrounds, led by Miss E. Taylor, and will endeavour to prove in its next few appearances that the form revealed on Saturday was not its best.
