Haverhill Silver Band WIN Crawley Entertainments Contest!

HSB are excited to announce that on Sunday 20th May they won SCABA 2012 Entertainments contest.

Conductor, Mark Ager put together a very cleverly structured programme that obviously hit the spot with adjudicator Dr Robert Childs. Drawn number one he was wowed with the opening fanfare piece "Fest Musik der Stadt Wien" which smoothly transitioned to Phillip Harper's, Blue Sleeve Step featuring both Principal Cornet, Tim Pannell, and Eb Bass, Paul Farr. Tim continued to shine in his solo "Flourish" which was followed by the quartet feature "Irish Blessing". To add a little lightheartedness to the programme the percussion feature "The Typewriter" was included and finally, to go out with a bang, "MacArthur Park" (also featured on our CD).

Come and hear this prize winning band at one of the many locations that they will feature this summer:

2nd June	Great Wratting Fete
10th June	Keddington Fayre
7th July	Thurston Prom
8th July	Last Night of the Proms, Old Independent Church, Haverhill

Naturally we think that this is a great recording but you don't have to take our word for it! 4barsrest kindly reviewed our CD for us and revealed that it really is as good as we think. To choose just one choice quote,
"14 well chosen tracks of varied repertoire and a couple of quality soloists...post production values that add value to the release... a very good showcase CD release that deserves to be sold by the bucket load." (4barsrest)
