July 2026 rehearsal photos – good times
Thomas loves keeping us in time with his cowbell. Look at the joy on his face! Christine normally plays second tenor horn but was loving playing tambourine for a change on Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka! The band room was packed for Youth Band’s final rehearsal before the big concert on Sunday.
City Band play Classics in the Walled Garden
Our City Band had such a great time playing tunes at the Classics in the Walled Garden event at Luton Hoo. Brass music, lovely people, gorgeous cars in beautiful surroundings, with the sun setting on a pleasant evening. What’s not to like? Clips and pics below.
