Civic Service of Thanksgiving Whaley Bridge

28/9/2019

The Band was honoured to be invited to participate in this service of thanks to all the organisations and individuals who helped to avert disaster when the dam was damaged in the summer.
Not only was the church full to capacity, but there was live streaming in the upstairs hall and on WB website, and the audience included many local VIPs.  No pressure then!

After a short selection of pieces while the guests assembled, we accompanied the hymn and the National Anthem (two verses!) during the service.  And as a grand finale afterwards, the first public performance for decades of The Whaley Bridge March, which went down very well. And good experience in preparation for next Sunday's fundraising concert when it will feature once again.   
Many thanks to John for helping us out on euphonium.

Alwyn's 90th Birthday

14/9/2019

Alwyn Beard and his family go back a long way with Whaley Bridge Band, and it was a privilege and a pleasure for a ensemble of players to join them to celebrate Alwyn's 90th birthday.  The arrival of the band at Trinity Church just as the party started came as a complete surprise to Alwyn having been secretly arranged by his sons Paul and John, with John making a guest appearance on Solo Horn.
Picture
Alwyn was the band's treasurer for decades, nobody can remember exactly when he started but rumour has it the accounts were still in old money. And not content with that he took up the trombone in his retirement.
Many thanks to Sheila for selecting the programme and conducting, and to all the players for making this a really special occasion.
