As concert secretary, the first 3 months of the year are always quite quiet. The band spends January-March busily preparing for our regional contest and we don’t typically have any other engagements in the community.

​

However, with that now behind us, the band’s calendar starts to get more populated with other gigs and events. First up will be our return to Marlow to support the St George’s Day Parade. This is always a nice busy event to play at, giving the opportunity for us to play a little further afield to a different crowd. The Wokingham May Fayre on Monday 5th May is a regular event we play at and we’re looking forward to returning again this year.

​

And then we will have our summer concert at All Saints Church, Wokingham, on 6th July which promises to be one of the highlights of our year. We’re already starting to prepare for this and hope to see many of you there.

​

And one new event during the summer will see the band taking a trip into central London. We have been invited to play in Westminster Abbey Gardens on 13th August as part of their summer band concert series. It will be a real privilege to play at such a prestigious venue and we can’t wait!
