Earlier this month the band celebrated another year of music making with our annual social and BBQ, which is a great chance for the band to relax together with friends and family after a busy summer of music making. Trophies were presented to Di and Esther in recognition of their contribution to the band over the past year. The Training Band performed at the start of the event and it was fantastic to see the increase in numbers in the band and to hear the progress they are making in their playing.

Do you know a young person who has been learning to play a brass instrument at school this year and would like to keep playing over the summer?

If so then our Training Band is the place to be!

We have instruments available to borrow and it's free! We rehearse on Thursdays from 7 - 7.45pm and we continue through most of the summer holidays, so it's the perfect way to keep practising.

The band is out again this coming Sunday, 14th June, this time playing for the Southwold Mayor's Parade. We'll be coming through the town from the Market place at around 10.45am to reach the church ready for the Civic Service, and returning again after the service.
In the afternoon you'll find us on the Prom near the Pier, so do come along and enjoy the music.
