Countdown to Christmas!
Make a date for 8th December, 7.30pm to be at West Chiltington Village Hall for our Christmas concert. As ever, there will be the opportunity to join in the fun with a Christmas singalong (not to mention our raffle, quiz and refreshments!)
And it won't be the only opportunity to see the band over the festive season - check out our EVENTS page for more information.
On parade...stepping out in Storrington on Remembrance Sunday
Members of the band were proud to be able to take part in the Storrington Remembrance parade on Sunday 10th November. It's been a VERY long time since the band did any formal marching, and we think this may be the first ever in Storrington. It was great to see so many people, especially the youth organisations, turning out. Well done everyone!
Autumn update...and onwards to Christmas!
We've had a super busy summer, starting with our great London-themed Spring concert back in May, followed by our Annual trip to the West Chiltington Fete and Flower Show in July (mercifully a lovely sunny day after last year's weather cancellation!). August saw us taking our regular slot on Horsham Carfax bandstand (another gorgeous sunny day), and then a trip to Arundel festival to end our summer season. Autumn has already seen us return to our, now regular, venue of The Horse at Hurst for our Octoberfest event. (Photos for all will be in the gallery soon!)
We're now turning our attention to (shhh!) Christmas! We'll be playing carols round the area and our ever popular Christmas Concert (with singalong, mulled wine, raffle - a great fun evening!) on Sunday 8th December. Please check our our EVENTS page to find out more.
Thank you, Storrington and Pulborough District Rotary!
As part of their '40 for 40' initiative to support local groups to celebrate their 40th Anniversary, Storrington and Pulborough District Rotary donated some money to the band, which we used to add some more music to our library.
MD, Linda Harvey, took a break from conducting our set at the West Chiltington Village Fete to meet President Elect, Mark Foss, and thank him in person.
We've already had a couple of run-throughs of the piece, which is music from the TV series 'Band of Brothers'. It's a great piece and we look forward to playing it at future concerts!
Happy Anniversary to the SPDR - and all the best for the next 40 years!
See us soon at West Chiltington Village Show!
Every year we are delighted to be part of the West Chiltington Village Show. Please come and see us there - and enjoy a really fun day out!
