Training Band - Air BP
Monday 25th Jun 2001, the wee hours
Mickle Trafford School Fete. A great outing for the TB. Thanks also to the MacDonalds who deputized for TB members playing football and dancing! The band supported the rose queen procession (not marching yet…), and did 3 playing spots (a dance troupe couldn’t make it so the TB did an extra spot). A ‘try an instrument’ session went down very well, with all our information leaflets being taken by interested parties…. If half turn up over the next few weeks we’ll be struggling for instruments, so we’ll have to explore the available options. If you want to know what some of the TB look like, take a look in the entertainments section of The Chronicle this week, where you can read all about them, and also see some of them, together with MD Paula Bell, in glorious technicolour! Also look out for Band Secretary Les Platt, doing an American marching band special with his bass in the background….. There was a full turn out in blue (Donnay) tops at this event, and it looked good. If you’re a TB member without a top, and you want one, contact Gill Townsend at a Monday night rehearsal. We’ve had an offer of 25 baseball caps for the Training Band from AirBP! If anyone else wants to offer support, services or goods to either band, then just email troonly@btinternet.com .
