Paia 1.20
We are very pleased that the number of
player5 has increased in the senior band again
this year (especially in the woodwind sections)
and both the senior and training band are
continuing to thrive.
In June we played at Fremington Church for a
fund-raising concert for the Youth work of the
church and also the Children's Hospice South
West (which is based in Fremingtonl. The
concert was a great success and both charities
were donated just over £200.00.
As the band has done for many years. we
played for the Remembrance service in both
Rock Park and then in the Parish church. There
were many military and other organisations
that were represented and our Principal Cornet
player plays the Last Post and Reveille at both
events so professionally and with such poise
for the occasion.
The band played some Carols in the Barnstaple
High Street (subject to the correct licence from
North Devon District Council) and this was
enjoyed by shoppers and Members of the
public for bringing some Christmas cheer into
the town. For this occasion, festive dress and
Santa hats are wornl
Barnstaple Concert Band was invited to play at
the Grosvenor Church Carol Concert which is
always very well attended. It was a lovely
festive occasion and the carols and Christmas
music was wonderful and loved by all those
that were at the concert.

We also did a Christmas concert in Fremington
church and this was a lovely, festive evening
which was very well attended by a lot of the
local community. As it was Christmas and it can
be a difficult time of year for many, the profit5
for this concert were donated to our local food
bank and this was very gratefully received.
The band has also invested in new music this
year, to further enhance our repertoire of
music we play. This is both good for the
audience to hear a wide-ranging variety of
music at concerts and also challenging and
more interesting for our players. The latest
music includes more modern music including
that from Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift.
A new pull-down Banner was purchased with a
new Band logo and this has been displayed at
all our concerts and events.
The Training band is for all abilities of playing
and includes both children and adults. Various
styles of music are played and enjoyed
together to improve their musical standards
and have the experience of playing in a band.
More concerts are now being planned with
other local choirs and groups for next year and
we are looking forward to the future.
