2012 – New MDs, a 50th Anniversary, a Wedding & an Engagement!

It's been a significant year for the band and its members. Chris Small took the baton in January. Full of enthusiasm, we made good performances at the regional championships in March, playing the 'English Folk Song Suite' and at the Weston-super-Mare concert in May, playing Nigel Hall's 'The Rollright Stones'. As Chris grauated from the Birmingham Conservatoire and moved away to do post graduate studies, we welcomed Chris License as our new MD.

A 50th Anniversary, a Wedding & an Engagement!

Away from playing, long-standing members Brian (BB♭ Bass) and Jenny (Solo Horn) celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, Claire (Euphonium/Baritone) married her fiancĂ©, Mike; and Chris (Principal Cornet) proposed to Carly (Percussion) - and she instantly said yes!
