We had a good time last Sunday playing for the Mayor at his Civic Service – both as he
paraded into the Church, and then for a time during the service! All the young people played
really well, and were a credit both to you and themselves.
I wanted to confirm a couple of forthcoming dates. We have agreed to play for the local
scouts association and their Annual St George’s Day Parade on Sunday 26th April 2009. As
last year, the service will take place at the Winter Gardens in the afternoon; we will have more
detail nearer the time.
The SE Regional Band Competition has unfortunately had to be cancelled – you will recall
this was planned for the 9th May – so that’s a Saturday off!! However, we are hopeful that
there will be a new opportunity next year.
In the meantime, we are busy trying to put our performance together for the national
competitions at Stoke on the 6th June 2009.
If in the meantime you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to speak with me or
one of the other officers.
