A reminder of MJP's email:

I wanted to thank all of you for doing so well for reaching such a promising standard in the lead up to the Windsor bandstand engagement.  Well done, all!

To master a piece with the complexity of Doyen in such a short space of time was excellent.

The people who actually played on the day did a really excellent job, with a full sound and a togetherness which did the band proud.

I'm sure the rehearsals and the concert itself will put us in very good fettle for any engagements coming our way in the future. We now need to continue practising and improving in both individual skills and ensemble playing to really put the band on the musical map.

My hope is that we will then be able to do an even better video for the Christmas concert.  I'm going to have a chat with my video/sound gurus to try and get a concert piece (from the actual concert) put out for Christmas; a sort of musical Christmas card for everyone to have access to.

Well, it's been a long time coming but we're finally on our way back to live music! You should all have Wednesday 19th May in the diary as our likely restart date for rehearsals at Burnham URC. Still subject to any government announcements between now and then, but it's looking good. We will be using the worship area at the URC so keeping well clear of the sweaty dancers (!), and there will be full compliance with the remaining requirements for distancing etc.

You should also have had a Muzodo to confirm availability for a workshop at Burnham Park Hall on Friday 9th July. If you haven't already done so, PLEASE RESPOND to the Muzodo link.

Watch our for more instructions, we still need to keep everyone safe but isn't it fab that we'll soon be playing together again?

Due to the Coronavirus outbreak, all rehearsals are cancelled until further notice.

Keep safe everyone, and keep practising!
