On Saturday 3rd December, Santa will be coming to Yiewsley to turn on the Christmas lights, and we’d love for you to join us!

There’s lots going on, so bring the whole family along!

On 30th October, the band competed in Addlestone at the Challenging Brass contest.

There was a mixed programme, including ‘Sing, Sing, Sing’, the set march ‘The Mad Major’, the Euphonium Solo ‘Benedictus’, played by solo Euphonium, Paul Miller and a cornet trio ‘Trumpets Wild’, played by Sean Kelly, Jenni Hughes and Matthew Ruel.

Overall, the band came a very close second place, but won a prize for the cornet feature. Here’s our players with their trophy!

The band also took part in a massed bands performance of The Mad Major, with all the players from all four bands on the stage at once – I’m sure the audience’s ears were ringing with all that powerful playing by the end of the afternoon!

The band had a good day out, and enjoyed listening to all the other performances too.
