Thank you Robert for your enthusiasm, patience and mostly, thank you for the music.

Band on the Rec

A perfect evening for ‘Band on the Rec’ at Beenham. What a super atmosphere and how wonderful to see so many people enjoying themselves. It has been such a long time since we last performed in public but we returned in style! A massive thank you to everyone who worked so hard to enable us to play and to ensure this was a Covid safe event.

Face to face rehearsals

 Brilliant news.

 

Face to face rehearsals to return! 

Our first face to face rehearsal will be on Friday 21^st May at Beenham school.  Detailed information will be arriving in your inboxes soon.  Please note that the zoom rehearsal on 7^th May and the social on 14^th May have been cancelled, so there is plenty of time to build up stamina and prepare for an evening of LIVE music led by Victoria Benjamin 😊

Beenham Wind Orchestra AGM

 Friday 8th Jan at 8pm is our annual AGM. This will take place via zoom. If any members have not had details with the zoom link please contact Jane Hodgson.

First Full Band Rehearsal - Finally

So fantastic to finally be able to get together and play again. Having the large space at Kennet School allowed for social distancing plus! It was an evening of new pieces and old. Luckily we all remembered which way up our instruments went :) Next rehearsal will be October 23rd 7:15 to 8:45 at Kennet.

Lockdown Project

We are really pleased to share our recording of Ashokan Farewell. A massive thank you to Jane Hodgson for organising this fantastic lock down project and also to Paul Saunders for his technical support. Enjoy!
