Nottingham Concert Band Gets Ready for 2008

30 January 2008

The band's Spring 2008 concert is being planned for the evening of Saturday 8 March at the Christian Centre on Talbot Street, Nottingham, and all proceeds will be donated to Nottingham's Cardiac Support Group. The Sheriff of Nottingham, Councillor Jeannie Packer, has accepted an invitation to attend, as has BBC East Midlands Today presenter Jo Healey. The guest compere will be John Holmes of BBC Radio Nottingham.

Under the baton of Conductor & Musical Director Robert Parker, Nottingham Concert Band is working on a varied programme for the evening during its weekly rehearsals at Jesse Gray School in West Bridgford, including transcriptions of traditional favourites and recent additions to the contemporary wind-band repertoire. A series of solo and small ensemble spotlight sections during the concert are also being planned.
