A Message from our Musical Director
A warm welcome to our 2015 Spring Concert, ‘Inventions’.
As always, a lot of thought has gone into the programming of pieces
we are to perform this evening. They are all to do with great
inventions, some of which are obvious as to their inclusion, whilst
others may need your imagination. All will become clear as I explain
our reasoning, however tenuous, prior to each piece.
This will be our final public performance as reigning National Concert
Band Champions following our outstanding achievement at the 2014
National Concert Band Symposium in June last year. As champions
we have been invited back to perform at the gala concert that
concludes this years National Concert Band Symposium, being held in
Canterbury on Sunday 28th June. We would love to see you there to
listen to some fabulous original wind band works which will really
stretch the band to its maximum.
In addition to being crowned National Champions, 2014 proved a
bumper year in terms of fundraising for our chosen charities. Our
second joint concert with the Band of the Grenadier Guards in October
raised £6,000 for SSAFA (the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families
Association). In addition we were delighted to send The King’s
College Hospital Critical
Care Unit a cheque for
£3,840 raised during our
Christmas concert in
Dartford, a band quiz night
and subsequent memorial
concert held at Gads Hill
School in memory of band
friend Sally Hergest.
Looking ahead, planning is well underway for a number of band events
in 2015, including a much anticipated return concert with the Band of
the Grenadier Guards in Sevenoaks. Due to the Grenadiers’ busy
schedule, this year’s concert will take place on 22nd November which
should make the run into our Christmas performances quite a
challenge. Prior to this, we will also be undertaking our annual August
performance at Swanley Fireworks before travelling up the M1 to
spend some time with our friends in Doncaster Concert Band over the
August bank holiday weekend.
To keep fully up to speed please visit our website at
www.eynsfordconcertband.co.uk which contains details of all our
performances and other news.
It just leaves me to thank you for your continued support and I hope
you enjoy listening to the great sounds of Eynsford Concert Band, a
great invention in its own right.
