Helping other local organisations

The band has been busy since returning from the summer break. Two concerts held in our band room, the first one on 29th September to raise funds for the 1st Dinting Scouts, the second a fortnight later to raise funds for St Mary's RC church. Both nights saw a full house with both the band and audience having a very enjoyable evening of entertainment and potato pie supper.

The concert for St Mary's was directed by Jim Cant (one of, if not the most successful conductor in the band's recent history). Jim has been associated with the band most of his life and conducted the band throughout the 1990's when the band achieved a record number of consecutive competition victories, racing up through the sections and eventually securing championship section status.

The band are looking forward to further work with Jim throughout the Christmas period.

Fun Filled Festivities

Glossop Band have had a very hectic December which saw the band play at some very varied locations.

The band had a thoroughly enjoyable evening on the 30th November playing community carols for the Glossop Christmas light switch on. This was followed by carols in the festive market in Glososp.

The following week saw the band play their annual Christmas concert in Denton and the band has played at this venue for nearly 30 years. We then played at All Saints in Glossop and it was lovely to play in such a lovely setting and the carols were sung with much gusto!

The band then had a very well earned weeks break before then playing at Timperley to another full audience and the Bandroom.

We are looking forward to whatever the New Year brings and look forward to playing for you all again soon.
