The commitee and band members would like to welcome a new member to our ever expanding band!
We would like to welcome cornet player Alison Beak to our band and hope she has many happy playing years with us!
HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE CINDERFORD BAND!
A warm welcome back to all our readers!
Well, another year has started and the band had finished 2004 on a high note!
We had a good year with contesting, with reasonable results including the array of prizes we won at the local GBBA contest as previously mentioned in the last news update. The concerts that were held throughout the year at many venues were hugeley welcomed by the public, and it helped push us up the ladder of success and promote the bands awareness to the public. We have had many warm replies from the public regarding the work we have done, and this has resulted in adding the number of our concerts for 2005! We recieved many kind remarks from the public at our concerts in St.James Park, London in the summer as well as other events and we hope to be invited back like our other engagements in the new year!
We have a big calendar year in 2005 regarding concerts and contests, and all dates will be added to the events page and calendar when these times have been finalised. Watch this space for details!
As our work continues we have had quite a few inquiries regarding new players wanting to join us! This is great news for the band and we will introduce these players to you in the near future!
COMING SOON!
We have a major new concert this year with a top solist which will be revealed in the very near future, and all information will follow in due course!
If you would like any more information on the band or would like to help us in any way please contact us via the previous link or directly to our website! Email can also be sent via this service!
Kind Regards
