Thanks to the Jackson family for building a pots and pans percussion set for the training band – just don’t expect any food if you visit them for the next few months. The set will be used in The Saddleworth Suite, a new piece of music the Training Band are now rehearsing. Watch this space!

We're still looking for a principal trombone player..... Interested then call Ian on 07766 087 243 We're also looking for a Soprano cornet and Bflat or Eflat bass.......

OK, another cheap headline to get you to read something. The training band, under the baton of MD Paula Bell, put on a great performance at naylor Court residential home in Ellesmere Port recently. A lively 'dialogue' between Ian and the audience suggested everyone had a great time. Thanks to parents for driving, and to Les and Doug sitting-in on bass. Thanks to Leon for sitting-in on cornet.

Derek's stand-in! Thanks to Leon for the last 4 rehearsals whilst Derek's been on his hols!
