The Yorkshire Imperial Band, also known as the Yorkshire Imperial Urquhart Travel Band (from current sponsors David Urquhart Travel ) and the Yorkshire Imps, is a brass band from West Yorkshire, England. Other names used have included Yorkshire Imperial Metals Band, IMI Yorkshire Imperial Band, Yorkshire Imperial David Urquhart Travel Band and DUT Yorkshire Imperial Band.〔 The band was formed in the 1930s as the Yorkshire Copper Works Band based at the Yorkshire Copper Works in Stourton, Leeds, and was renamed when Yorkshire Imperial Metals was created in 1958, owned by Yorkshire Copper Works and ICI Metals Division.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.kme.com/en/the_kme_yorkshire_history )〕 The Rothwell Temperance Band was founded in 1881, when the drinkers and non-drinkers of the Rothwell Model Band, established in 1841 or earlier, divided to form two bands, the other being the Rothwell Old Band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rtb.org.uk/history/1881/ )〕 In 1999 it was renamed the Wallace Arnold (Rothwell) Band,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brassbandresults.co.uk/bands/wallace-arnold-rothwell-band/ )〕 reflecting sponsorship by coach tour operator Wallace Arnold. The then "B" band retained the name Rothwell Temperance Band〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rtb.org.uk/history/short/ )〕 and still exists. In 2000 the Wallace Arnold (Rothwell) Band merged with the Yorkshire Imperial Band, which became for some time the Yorkshire Imperial DUT (Rothwell) Band.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://brassbandresults.co.uk/bands/yorkshire-imperial-david-urquart-travel-band/ )〕 the band was ranked 9th in Yorkshire 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.4barsrest.com/rankings/default.asp?region=Yorkshire )〕 and 50th in the world〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.4barsrest.com/rankings/default.asp?l=in )〕 in listings at brass band website 4barsrest.com. The band has made many recordings, going back as far as the 1967 CBS ''Yorkshire Brass''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ibew.org.uk/misc26b3.htm )〕 The band's logo shows an imp sitting on a Yorkshire rose. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yorkshire Imperial Band」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
