Where did the band play

[Jonathan Girard]

I'm wandering where the Band concert took place. Some people said it was in the Reception on D deck and other think it was in the First Class Lounge...Sorry if the question was already asked and answered...And sorry for my english, my native language is french...

I have never seen anyone mention that the trio played in the second class dining saloon, where does this information come from?

The generally accepted schedule of the quintet is different too:

10:00–11.00	After Second Class Entrance foyer, C Deck
11:00 –12:00	First Class Entrance hall, Boat Deck
16:00 –17:00	First Class Reception Room on D-deck
17:00-18:00	After Second Class Entrance foyer, C Deck
20:00 –21:15	First Class Reception Room on D-deck
21:15 –22:15	After Second Class Entrance foyer, C Deck

Both bands wouldn't play in the dining saloons too, the piano there was meant for the Sunday services.
