More Canal Basin

25/7/2021

Same time, same place, and another session of hymns and marches on Sunday in Whaley Canal Basin.  Word had got round about the good time that was had by the six of us last week, and five more members of the band came along too - three cornet players, plus Lorraine and Ray W/O.

Lorraine and Ray are both recovering from serious health issues which occurred earlier in the year and are not yet up to playing, but it was fantastic that they were there to give moral support.

And weather permitting, back again next Sunday. And this time, not just the red hymn book and the road march pad,  we now have a new challenge.

This is a collection of 50 well known pieces of music arranged for small ensembles, perfect for us on a Sunday afternoon.  The play list includes over a dozen National Anthems, as well as joyful classics and relaxing melodies.  Some will indeed be challenging, so will be left for later, but we have already chosen our first three - Amazing Grace, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind and I Vow to Thee My Country.  Lots of incentive for home practice this week!

Whaley Canal Basin

A few of the band locals decided to take advantage of the fine weather to meet in Whaley Bridge Canal Basin for an impromptu outdoor session of hymns and marches. 

Despite it being March last year since we played together, we sounded pretty good.  Sheila counted us in and kept us together as well as playing her flugel. 

A great day, much enjoyed by both players and passers by.  What a  relief that despite the long lockdown layoff we hadn't forgotten what to to.!
