Wakefield Orchestral Wind Snaps Flautist

25 July 2007

Looking back at the weather over the last couple of months they count ourselves lucky that only one of their events was cancelled due to the exceptionally heavy rain.

The months prior to our summer engagements were spent working hard on our repertoire. Nigel Horne, their conductor, chose a varied programme to see us through all their engagements which included items such as The Entry of the Gladiators, Pachelbel’s Canon and Alexander’s Ragtime Band.

They were very pleased and grateful to have former members of the band and playing friends and family of band members join them for their summer engagements, making true the saying: ”The more the merrier!”

It is with great pleasure that they welcome a new member to the band. Katherine Grice, a medical photographer from Swindon, has joined on flute and is a great asset to their existing flute section.

They are now turning our attention to an autumn repertoire and would welcome new players of Grade 6 standard or above to swell their ranks.

Rehearsals take place at Ossett Community Centre, Prospect Road, Ossett on Thursday evenings between 7.30pm and 9pm.
