DECEMBER 2011
December has been the usual busy month for the band with more carolling jobs than ever. A great big thank you to every member of the band who helped to make this a success.
Our Christmas concert this year, under the expert baton of Roy Waite, was particularly enjoyable if perhaps a little less well attended than we would have liked! It was a pleasing performance from all sections of the band though and a special mention must be given to our Soloists - Carole, Kate and Kevin for their excellent performances and also to Ray for taking on the role of Compere for the evening.

The Engagements page is now fully up to date with all the Christmas jobs..please check.
The band is very pleased to welcome three new players to the fold, John Short and Tom & Amy Leather. Although an accomplished trombonist and pianist, John joins us as our new Kit Percussionist and made an impressive debut with the band at the Proms concert on 22nd October. Tom and Amy are very welcome additions to the horn and cornet sections respectively. One other move to report, John will be joined in the percussion section by long-standing member Ray Whalley who makes the move from 2nd Trombone to Tuned Percussion.
