All Systems Go

February may be the shortest month of the year, but the band is certainly doing its best to cram in as much practice as possible in preparation for its upcoming concert and contest. With only 3 and a half weeks until the Areas (a quick count up in our head makes that a total of 10 practices left), rehearsal of ‘Labour and Love’ is very much in full swing, with progress being made slowly but surely. We have already had the first of our practices with Steve Sykes, and now can’t wait for the next one on Tuesday 23rd.

The band has been juggling practising the test piece with practising for our fast approaching concert in the Manor Pavilion on Saturday 27th February. Organised by the Lions Club of Sidmouth, this year sees the band joining forces with local singer Avril Best and pianist Andrew Sturmey. In aid of two great charities, the ‘Swinging and Singing’ concert promises to be a very entertaining evening. Click here to see our engagements page for more details.
