April news 2012

After practicing the Test Piece for Torquay (the Brass Band Area Contest) over the last three months the band are now busy preparing for the Summer Season. 

As this is to be the band's first full Summer Season with our new conductor, Steve Rockey, at the helm, we will be playing a variety of new music to keep us and our audiences entertained.

Our first engagement will be Marshfield May Fair on 12th May.

Hopefully the weather will hold out for us and the sun will shine all Summer .. fingers crossed!!

With new faces in the band we are looking forward to attending this years regional competition in Torquay on the 10th of March. This year the test piece is 'English folk song suite' and being such a well known piece has attracted many bands to this years competition. This year we also have a new conductor who will also be taking us to the regional competition. Steve Rocky has made a great impact in the band since starting with us late last year.  

 Sadly Louise Wall (Euphonium) has decided to leave the band to play at championship level, we would like to wish her all the best with her new band.

April 2011

The band is looking forward to the summer season with the usual array of bandstand concerts and summer fates. This year the band can be seen playing throughout the region so please check our diary page for further details. 

The band had a good time at Torquay for the regional contest held on the 12th of March, despite a very disappointing result. We were drawn to play last but one, so it was a long day. The band hopes to improve on this result in the future. 

We are currently looking for new players who would be interested in joining the band - we have vacancies that need to be filled (esp Cornets!) so please contact the band and get in touch!
