Latest News
Posted on Sunday May 15th, 2022
Last week, WCB took to the mean streets of Wokingham for the highly anticipated return of our annual Bowling Championship! Over the course of 2 games, band members showed off their sporting prowess but in the end, the victor with a magnificent 249 points was trumpeter Brian, who was delighted to lift the prestigious trophy - well done Brian!
Congratulations Brian. I can’t believe I forgot to ask who won last rehearsal! ππ»π
I always knew Brian was a "ringer" π
Steve so wanted to join you all but the sunshine in Malta was too tempting

I see a few old faces that I recognise - and I mean old. They've got to be. They were there when I was member!

MAMBO! What a brilliant concert! We had a great time performing our dance-themed concert last night - packed full of everything from classical to disco and ballet to the wild west, we reckon that we took in just about every aspect of dance-related music and judging by the audience's enthusiastic reaction, they had great fun too! If you came along, we hope that you enjoyed it - let us know what your favourite piece was!
Fab concert, my mum, sister and I really loved it! So hard to pick a favourite, but probably West Side Story for me, or maybe Singing in the Rain. You are a great band ππ

Our final post of 2021 is our last look back at WCB's 12 Virtual Days of Christmas from 2020. We finished off our online Christmas celebration in style with our biggest ever virtual performance - 35 band members, 13 different percussion instrumentsπ₯ and a whopping 48 separate audio tracks! Here's our amazing version of Happy Xmas (War is Over) - see you in 2022!πΆβ€οΈ
That was wonderful thankyou everyone. Happy New Year and see you at the next concert.

Our Assistant Director of Music Owen is not known for being quiet and understated so when we asked him if he fancied making a video for our 12 Virtual Days of Christmas last year, we weren't quite sure what we'd get. What we certainly didn't expect was 4 of him in one room at the same time (in 4 different festive hats) playing our most-requested Christmas song! We're still not *quite* sure we know he did this...!π¦π·π
Fantastic Owen - superstar!
Oh I love this! Well done Owen Lloyd!
Well done to all involved
Wow amazing

Back in November last year, as it became clear that most forms of Christmas celebration would have to take place virtually, we scrambled a crack team of brass players and put no less than four different carols together in record time to help Woodley Town Council present their first ever online Christmas Lights Switch-On! Here are Gregor, John, Phil, Jon, Mark and Len playing Winter Wonderland...βοΈπΌ
Very nice π

The third performance we've chosen for our look back at our 2020 Twelve Virtual Days of Christmas is this lively little number from three of our flautists, Cath, Cathy and Sally - a vey jolly arrangement of Deck the Halls - enjoy!ππΆ
Well Done
