We’ve been a bit quiet over the summer and had a good rest ready for us to start back and into the music for our next few events.

Just before we broke up for summer, some of our senior band members went to Newcastle Under Lyme to provide the music for a civic event!

Again, something different for us, but was a great experience. Most of our members had their first experience of music stands, folders and a strong wind too… safe to say, a lot of pegs were needed!

Over the coming months some of our senior band members will be performing at Hickories Smokehouse, Stafford, as part of their Superbowl Event they are hosting Sunday 13th September. We have our 40th Anniversary Concert and St Bertelin’s (our home) 70th Anniversary Service in October and Remembrance Day events!

A busy few months, but a fun and musical few months, with a wide range of music and styles! Keep your eyes peeled for updates over the next few months.

We would like to wish our members, and any of our extended band family who are receiving their GCSE results today all the best!

We are so proud of you all, so remember, whatever happens, anything is possible and that you can achieve great things!

We have warmed up in a wide variety of places before… however, in a library is a new one for us and definitely the most unusual!

Another fantastic message from a parent today. Although not directly musical related, it’s definitely something to share!

One of members today received her Silver Blue Peter Badge for her efforts raising money for Comic Relief. She took this upon herself to organise and raise funds for such an important cause.

They felt she deserved their Silver Blue Peter Badge for her efforts and demonstrating acts of kindness, community work, volunteering and fundraising.

We love hearing about all the different and positive things our members are involved in, within band and in their own lives.

Fantastic work!

Our fundraising and information stalls are almost up and running at Westbridge Park part of Stone Carnival!

We are also taking part of the carnival parade through Stone Town Centre!

There’s lots going on throughout today and tomorrow, so come down and enjoy the fun!

While we waited to form up this afternoon for the Mayor Making Parade through Stafford, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to take a nice mugshot!

We are at Trentham Gardens Community supporting their fundraising event for Dougie Mac Hospice!

Although the weathers not the best, it’s already been a fantastic morning, with lots going on!

If you want to get out and looking for something to do, it’s open until 4pm in the main gardens, £5 a ticket, with part of the tickets going directly to Dougie Mac!

We are out today with our info stand in Stafford part of Staffordshire Day in the town centre!

Perfect opportunity to pop down and speak to us about the band, what we get up to and how to get involved! We have some of our senior band members around too to help answer any questions.

We also have a jigsaw stall, to help raise funds for the band… so if you’re a keen puzzler, then come and see if any take your fancy… only £2 each!
