This years first performances will be fest of the trees(probably late Nov) then an end of term concert in Dec.
This year we will be playing music from our past 5 seasons plus a selection of new pieces which will be a year long project.
Do not be intimidated, band music has parts with different levels of difficulty for most instruments.

Inviting people to check out the band is great but if they are planning to drop in and play let me know in well advance (if they are not going to play off your music) so I can find parts for them and verify that it is a band compatible instrument.
The odds of me being ready with parts for a left handed flugalphone in F# minor are not good.
