Hathern Concert Brass in fine form at the Church Garden Fete. Some very nice comments so obviously the rain didn’t affect their performance. I do believe Andrea is smiling, so no wrong notes!!

Concert Brass - Western Park, Leicester
Aug. 1, 2010
On Sunday the 18th of July, Hathern Concert Brass and their conductor Andrea Allen played at Western Park in Leicester. It was a very windy day but the band played well to a good sized audience who, despite being laden with chairs and travel rugs, huffed and puffed their way up the hill to the bandstand.
After a while the ice-cream van came, and as people went to get their ice-creams the band played on longing for their chance to indulge. The shortness of the interval prevented half time ice creams and still the van taunted them until … it disappeared down the hill causing a near mutiny in the Band and a threatened downing of sticks from the percussion section.
The concert finished patriotically with the National Anthem and a standing ovation – a crafty move by Andrea!

Concert Brass - Kegworth Village Fair
July 12, 2010
On Saturday the 10th July Hathern Concert Brass, under their conductor Andrea Allen, played at Kegworth Village Fair. It was a very hot day with little breeze but they managed to get through the day playing from 12.00 noon until 12.30 p.m. having a 2 hour break before resuming playing at 2.30 until 3.00 p.m. The engagement was Rebecca Simm’s first concert on Eb Bass. With thanks to the helping hands of Senior Band members, we managed to make it a very good and enjoyable event.
