🎉We're back!🎉
Yesterday saw WCB's first whole-band performance in 16 months at the lovely Alexandra Gardens in Windsor. Miraculously, the rain held off and it was fantastic to finally be able to play to a live audience again!
We asked some of the band for their thoughts on this first performance back and there was clearly quite a range of feelings. Some focused on the practical...
"...is my bow tie still in my jacket pocket?..."
"...will my lip hold out?..."
"...please don’t rain, please don’t rain, please don’t rain..." and
"...ooh, these trousers are tighter than I remember..."
But ultimately, we were all delighted to be able to return to what we love doing - "It was really special to be playing to an audience again and to such an appreciative one too." "You could feel the excitement within the band and everyone played so well."
Thanks so much to everyone that came along to hear us (and to all those band members and their friends and families who contributed their thoughts and photos!). We're looking forward to more performances over the coming months - we'll see you soon!
And "is my sax in the boot?"......to which the answer turned out to be no! 😱🙄
Woodley Concert Band well done to all involved
Looks like a really nice bunch - but where are you?
Looks like you had a nice afternoon for it.
