These sectionals will take place on Sunday the 4th March:

The band would like to thank Waitrose of the donation of £460 through the Waitrose ‘Community Matters’ initiative.

We would also like to thank those who put their green chips towards the Severn Tunnel Band – we are very grateful to have such a supporting community, and we are thankful for those who helped us. Thank you!

The band are happy to announce that they achieved second place at the Blaenavon brass band competition!

Sunday 6th 2011 Sectionals

EDIT: It is the 6th, not the 13th!

The band are pleased with their result of 3rd place at Burryport competition playing Laudaute Dominum, and are looking forward to competing at Blaenavon!

The annual concert will be held at Caldicot Choir Hall on Friday 15th July 2011 at 7:30 PM. Tickets cost £6 adults and £4 concessions. A free buffet is available in the interval.

Congratulations to the junior band who came second on Saturday in the under 15′s ensemble. Well done to all of the juniors who took part in the solo competition.

The band would like to thank Alex for all of his hard work over the last 14 months and wish him the very best of luck in his new teaching post in Essex. The band has had considerable success under his leadership, but more importantly has benefited from his enthusiasm and the encouragement that he gave as the band’s musical director.

The band took 3rd prize in the fourth section at the SEWBBA contest at Ebbw Vale on Saturday 7th of May. The band gave a very good performance of Philip Sparke’s Triptych, well done everyone.

Many thanks to all who donated prizes and/or helped run the stall at Magor May Fayre; a very successful fund raising day for the band.
