Christmas Week 2

1/12/2023

Three events in three days over the weekend, starting with Buxworth Lights on Friday evening.
​
On Saturday, the Christmas Trees Festival at Holy Trinity Church. This festival gets bigger every year, which is fantastic, but the downside for the Band is that the more trees there are, the less space there is for us.

The band are in there somewhere.  And Father Christmas is in his grotto through the Vestry door on the left.
Definitely an occasion for our Christmas Jumpers!
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without The Twelve Days, with the Band in full voice on Five Gold Rings.
Well done Holly playing the solo line of In The Bleak Midwinter, totally alone and unaccompanied at the start, and a beautiful counter melody for verse three.
Many thanks to Alan for helping us out in the cornet section, much appreciated.

Off to Brierley Green on Sunday for the Church Carol Service.  Three members of the congregation are also in the Band which makes this occasion extra special occasion, even if it does put them under pressure performing in front of their home crowd. As well as playing tenor horn, Ray was also doing a reading.  Helped by a few drops of Rescue Remedy, he rose manfully to the challenge.
