Click here to see and hear the band playLincolnshire Brass Band Fun Day – 27th June 2010 Foss Dyke Band, Lincoln is delighted to announce it is organising and hosting a Fun Day for Brass BAnders and all brass players in Waddington from 2-5pm on Sunday 27th June. The afternoon will be held at the Village Hall in Waddington and will feature two slots for everyone to play as a Massed Band. All abilities from beginner to more advanced will be catered for. All people need to bring is an instrument and a stand. Lincolnshire Brass Band Musical Directors’ can have the opportunity to conduct the massed band as well. The idea is to have an opportunity for all brass band members to play and socialise – its something that brass players just don’t do often enough and the idea is that its a very fun and sociable event. The afternoon will also feature indoor and outdoor fun and games and a BBQ for all band members and their families – hopefully it will be warm enough to play outside. There is no charge for the event, as the idea is that the event is accessible to all, however all that play are invited to make a contribution of £2 (£4 for entire families) as all profits from the day will go to Marie Curie Cancer Care. Foss Dyke do need to have an idea of numbers, so people that would like to attend should please send an email to : Chairman Friends and players of all ages and abilities will be very welcome. |
