Our bands are really growing. How wonderful it was to see and hear a sea of cornets tonight, and all of them St Albans City Band players.
Here our Youth Band are playing Happy and the march Rise and Shine. Maybe they’ll be playing it while marching up and down the car park soon.
St Albans City Band has been working hard (and enjoying it) in preparation for our Autumn concert. Here we are playing El Capitan by Sousa and a bit of Wagner.
Rehearsals for our Community Band (adults Grade 2 to 5 standard) have been absolutely packed and great fun so far this term, preparing for our Autumn concert!
We were delighted to be invited to play at the Harpenden Mencap street party at the weekend, and really enjoyed the event even though it rained a lot! Here are some clips from the day.
Under Kenny’s baton tonight, we played some classical pieces but also found time to blast out a couple of 80s ballads by Whitney Houston and Elton John. Enjoy!
