Band Climbs A High Peak
Eric Ball's seminal work High Peak, Rhapsody for Brass, is the chosen test piece for this years regional championships to be held in Swansea in March. We are delighted to be entering this contest as a newly promoted first section band and have started work on this amazing test piece as the new year rehearsals recommence.

Easter Passion
As a band we are a fairly humble bunch… if you excuse the pun we have never been ones to “blow our own trumpets” HOWEVER…March saw our very own Joy Dandofeatured in Gareth Molone’s Easter Passion (all episodes available on BBC’s Iplayer). A superstar as always and an amazing opportunity, Joy! We are all very proud of you!

Today is International Women’s Day.
We are extremely lucky to have a bandroom full of inspiring women all making the world a better place in their own way. We would like to take the opportunity to shine a light on one in particular, our wonderful conductor Lana M Tingay. Lana works tirelessly to bring the joy of music to many people’s lives. We consider ourselves lucky to have such an inspirational, passionate and talented woman leading the way for us!
