Summer Hub Concert

What a fantastic show! There was certainly a buzz of excitement at the Verwood Hub where all three bands of VCB performed wonderful sets of music.

 

There was so much variety ranging from the Training Band's un-classic classical piece 'Toccata in D Minor', the Town Band's brass band classic of 'The Floral Dance' to the far from classic brass band piece 'Just a Closer Walk', a New Orleans street jazz number, from the Verwood Concert Brass Band.
There were also a couple of fabulous solo performances, one from Angela Moran on Baritone playing the beautiful John Golland arrangement 'Peace', and another from Erik Jonassen on Flugel Horn playing a great version of 'Under the Boardwalk'.

Trinity School Fete

It is certainly a busy time at Verwood Concert Brass at the moment!
This afternoon the Training Band played at Verwood's Trinity School Fete.

Well played band! A good run out ahead of tomorrow's VCB's Summer Concert at The Hub where the Training Band will be playing as well as the Verwood Town Band and Verwood Concert Brass Band.

White Horse Brassed Off

Here are some photos from last Sunday of the Town Band's new gig this year - taking part in the White Horses' series of Brassed-off events where they invite local bands to play.

With it being so hot it was fabulous to be performing outside even as the evening drew in. The audience were very appreciative too.

Well done to the The White Horse Inn for this initiative and for inviting the band. Let's hope they continue with it in future years . . . and we get invited back!

Cranborne Church Fete

Here are a few photos from Cranborne Church Fete and as you will see from the images it is such a lovely setting in the grounds of Cranborne Manor, especially with the sun shining.
It was quite cosy squeezing the band into the shade of the gazebo, although no chance for the drummer and bass player to squeeze in as well!

The band played really well and were much appreciated by the organisers for adding a traditional musical flavour to a traditional village fete. Marvellous!
