The Christmas carol concert on Saturday went very well. There was a little scare just before the start as some of the music stands had not arrived and the saxophone section was sitting with nothing to put our music on. Thankfully they arrived just in the nick of time. We played a mixture of tradition carols and pieces from our current programme. Abba Gold reared its head again and there were a few groans from the band when our conductor called it. This was also the case with the Sound of Music medley. I suppose some m embers have been playing these for many years but I enjoy playing them and am quite happy to play.
We were collecting for a local hospice and we had a number of collectors around the shopping centre. My two sons were due to help but disappeared soon after we arrived. When I asked why they did not help they said that they did not want to wear the bright green bibs. It seems charity does not extend to being street cred!!!!

Sounded great to me. The happy and not so happy shoppers shuffled about their business as the band played on. Semi quaver looked happy as a sand boy as he tapped his foot and nodded his head to the music. Well done. Pasha
