We had a special Bank Holiday rehearsal last night, with players from the Town and Training Bands plus some very welcome guests. Several players took the opportunity to swap from their usual instruments for a bit of fun!
​
Shout out to Kevin for picking out some cracking pieces for the evening, including Neverland and Dance of the Tumblers (which left us all spinning when we took it at speed!)

​It was great to kick of the 2024 Bands in the Park concert programme in Ross-on-Wye yesterday. This is one of our highlights of the summer season. The bandstand is nested in a beautiful park and the event is always well supported by the local community. We were able to feature four brilliant soloists: Rory (Tico-Tico), Louise (A Little Star Went Out), Samantha (Lark on the Clear Air), and Neil (Mr C Takes a Stroll). Many thanks to Jim Mason for standing in on Soprano Cornet.

Today, a team of players from Lydney Training Band took part in the 54th Bailey Lane End Music Festival hosted and organised by AW Parker Drybrook Band. Particular congratulations to Millie and Sadie, who won their sections; Rylan, Amanda, Kerry & Dougie, who acheived second place finishes; and Wren, Herbie & Dougie who came third in their sections! We could not be prouder of you all for your dedication and hardwork.
