Family Concert Entertainment
On 4th September, Oughtibridge Brass Band and the Worrall Male Voice Choir hosted an afternoon family concert in Coronation Park, Oughtibridge. Over 100 people attended to enjoy the first, of what we hope will be many, concerts in the park.
No Wash Out
Despite the forcast of heavy rain all day, the band, with help from the Village Gala team, erected a marquee large enough for the performers and audience to enjoy the concert in the dry. The crowds arrived and were entertained by the band and the choir, both performing a range of popular and original music.
Cakes, teas and flapjack
The band, with help from the training band, served teas, coffees and a fantastic selection of home baked cakes, buns and flapjacks. These were enjoyed by all (and a few passers by who took advantage of the refreshments. As the band blew and the cakes were chomped, the sun came out to much relief, and the music filled the valley.
Commendation
The band used this concert as an opportunity to present an award to Bob Crofts, baritone player in the band, who this year marks his 50th year playing with the band. The band, and audience, showed there sincere appreciation for the committment Bob has given over the last half century. Bob was presented with a commemorative tankard by Bradfield Parish Council. Read the full details here.

Throughout the afternoon, and since, the band has received a large number of fantastic comments. Some of these are included on our testimonials page. More photos will be uploaded in the coming days, please come back to see these.
