Spring Contest 2014

The band played Three Spanish Variations at the annual Spring contest in The Hawth Theatre on 27th April. This piece by Alan Fernie is very melodic and really brings the music of Spain to life with movements consisting of waltzes, romance and a fandago. Unfortunately no prizes this time but as always it was good to take part.

Spring Concert 2014

Cobham Village Hall was the venue for our Spring Concert on April 12th. A fantastic selection of music was played including Sinatra in Concert, The Way We Were and Singing In The Rain. There was a packed audience and great entertainment, including a few jokes from the musical director! Students from University of Surrey attended to record the event as part of their Sound Recording course and the stage had many microphones to capture all the different brass sections. Money was raised during the evening, some of which will go to our nominated charities and some to band funds.

Flooded out!

The severe storms that affected the UK in December caused the River Mole in Cobham to reach its highest ever level and unfortunately flooded the Church Hall where band rehearsals take place!

As a consequence the band is currently rehearsing in St Andrews Church which is just across the road from the hall.
