From the ridiculous to the sublime
I am of course talking about Watford Band’s concert on Saturday in aid of the Peace Hospice. The concert was superb in all aspects: The band played well (if a little over exuberantly); the audience were excellent and numerous; the choir was excellent; it was all fantastic!
I really need to work up the stamina again, as I was done in by the middle of the second half!
The programme that we’d played included:
- Goldcrest - a march
- Hymn to the Fallen - from Saving Private Ryan
- All in the April Evening
- Fantasia on British Sea Songs
- Cossack Ride and Slavonic Dances
- Breezin’ Down Broadway
- A medley from Swing When You’re Winning
and loads more. Didn’t get to do the Presley medley though, which was unfortunate as I’d mentioned that we were going to be playing that on the radio, oops!
