Instead of having our normal rehearsal tonight, we swapped our instruments for our quiz brains. Our Soprano player Sarah hosted a fabulous quiz night which had a little something for everyone. A massive thank you to her for putting it all together.

The band are delighted to have been picked out as spot prize winners from Brass Bands England. Our concert at Auckland Castle was featured in their Brass Band Week, and was picked out by the chair, Mike Kilroy. A big thank you for our prize of a years free membership. We really appreciate it.
The band are absolutely delighted to announce that our Solo Cornet player Leila, has only gone and smashed her A-Level results and got into her first place university. Leila will be going to Sunderland University in September to study Primary Education. We are also very lucky she is staying local and will be venturing back for a blow as and when she can. We are extremely proud of you Leila and hope you enjoy your next exciting adventure. Today the band performed for a very large crowd in the wonderful Wharton Park in Durham. It was great to see so many people turning out on what has got to have been one of our hottest concerts to date. Our MD Will picked a fabulous programme to play which had something for everyone and featured many of the bands usual soloists as well as a duet by Michael and Valerie on solo cornet. A big thank you as always goes to our two deps, Nic and Jeremy. We really appreciate your help. Today was our last summer concert of a very busy period and we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come along, listened and showed their appreciation. We now take a well deserved break dropping down to once a week rehearsals and a week off at the end of August. If you have any photos or videos of us performing throughout July and August we would love to see them. Today the band had the pleasure of playing to a packed out bandstand as part of the Friends of Saltburn - Supported by the 500 Club Sunday concerts. The band played a varied programme with a little something for everyone. Today's soloists featured Lindsey Rowell on Solo Horn playing An Untold Story and Nicola Evans on Flugel playing Children of Sanchez. We would like to say a big thank you to today's dep, Phil on Solo Trombone. Your help was very much appreciated. We enjoy coming down to entertain the good people of Saltburn and look forward to seeing you all next year. Next Sunday is our last job of the summer season and we are finishing at Wharton Park in Durham. Come along and give us a listen. We have everything crossed for some gorgeous weather. |
