15th Anniversary Concert

On Saturday 22nd October 2011, the band celebrated its anniversary by staging a concert in the parish hall. A sizeable audience was entertained with a varied programme, which included some well known pieces such as I Got Rhythm, Anything Goes and The Magnificent Seven, which brought three generations of Cornfords together on the stage! There were also a couple of pieces by the late Goff Richards as a tribute, and Peter led the band for the debut performance of his arrangement "Everyone's Misbehaving". It was a very enjoyable and successful evening.  See the Gallery for more photos!

Steaming into Summer!

The band is now in full swing with a number of summer engagements. The concert at St John's church in Chipping Sodbury for their 727th anniversary was very successful, and the next day saw the band playing on the bandstand in John Coles Park in Chippenham.

Despite blustery weather, we performed on both days at the Castle Coombe Steam Rally, and managed to stay dry! The weather was also a feature at the Chipping Sodbury Festival, the gazebo needing holding down whilst playing! Fortunately there was a good attendance for the event.

The band repertoire continues to expand, the music becoming more challenging, just like the weather conditions!

Take Note 2011

The Band were pleased to take part in the Take Note 2011 Festival organised by South Gloucestershire Council. There was a variety of musical items performed at local libraries on Saturday 2nd April. 

We played a variety of music at Yate Library. Despite disturbing the usual peace, our efforts appeared to have been appreciated!
