2 Step Up Band concert – Sunday 7 October
A free concert was given by 5 junior/training bands at the Didcot Civic Hall on Sunday 7 October 2012. Our very own “Step Up” Band performed (co-conducted by Grace and Ian), and joined a “Massed Band” finale with around 70 learner band players.
Arranged by the Oxfordshire & District Brass Band Association, the event was most enjoyable, and a great opportunity to showcase the achievement of local brass learners.
0 New sponsor – SMILE, the Infineum Community Team
We are delighted to announce that SMILE, the Infineum Community Team, have decided to sponsor the band, with a generous financial donation of £500 to be used towards the setup costs of our new Learner Band. That news definitely calls for a “smiley” symbol :-).
