SWBBA Torquay 7th November 2015
Verwood Concert Brass were delighted to gain second place overall in last weekend's South West Brass Band Association contest with Elaine Close taking the 'best Cornet player' award.
They were also placed at the top of the First Section bands.
Although Verwood will be promoted to the top flight in 2016 it was a result that showed their ambition as they in turn beat a number of Championship rivals led by third placed St Dennis performing 'Elgar Variations'.

Westmoors Charity Concert
Saturday 24th October
The Town Band were delighted to perform a full concert programme in aid of Alzheimer’s and St Mary's Church in West Moors.
The audience was wowed by the variety of music played by the band, selected by musical director, Emma Button, who was out to prove that brass bands can play swing with inclusion of “All That Jazz”, “Reet Petite”, “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and “Singin’ in the Rain” in the programme.
But of course the programme provided plenty of evidence that brass bands can play it all from loud and stirring stuff like “Men of Harlech” and the marches, “Slaidburn” and “Punchinello”, to calm and peaceful pieces like “The Irish Blessing”, “Hine e Hine” and “In Perfect Peace” as well as show tune medley’s “Mary Poppins” and “Breezin’ Down Broadway”.
Well done too to the soloist Ellie Mullins, flugel horn, playing “Adagio” from Concierto de Aranjuez and Sally Burrows, trombone, playing “Everytime We Say Goodbye”.
So not only a great evening’s entertainment but all in aid of good causes too.
