Last Outing - The Groves
Monday 25th Jun 2001, the wee hours
A fantastic afternoon of relaxing brass (atmosphere, not lips!) by the river. The City Band playing in The City – all’s well with the world! A great turnout by the main band, with 4 places filled by friendly deps, and one extra horn. We collected £137. Once again the collection was bolstered by a great turn out by Training Band members and parents. I guess we need to chat over how to increase the ‘take’, all ideas welcome!! Fantastic ‘first time’ solos by Paula Bell (baritone) and Gillian Spragg (horn), together with the usual solos from Rob MacDonald, including a very well received post horn. Apparently the collectors were very busy following the post horn gallop.
