Affectionally known as the OPPOT's (Older Players, Playing Older Tunes) The Veterans Band Meet at 14:00 on a Thursday afternoon.
The Veterans Band provides an opportunity for mature brass players to enjoy their art in a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
We play the music that perhaps, younger players would consider old and out of date, without having to get every note correct, in the right place and to a standard that the younger players strive for.
A hymn, a marche, a touch of Gilbert & Sullivan, maybe Scott Joplin, perhaps some Delibes or Verdi, most definately Debussy.
A cup of tea, a biscuit and a chat all help to make Thursday afternoons enjoyable, memorable and a high point of the week.
Although called the "Veterans Band" the band is actually suitable for all mature people of all abilities.
We even have someone in the band who is only 60!!!
Everyone welcome - just turn up with an instrument and play.
