Our 50th Anniversary Concert at All Saints Church

This concert marks 50 years of Borehamwood brass, plus one year, as we were formed in 1971, but the anniversary happened one year late, because of the Covid pandemic! We had a fine band on the night, supported by friends from neighbouring brass bands.  It was also part of the Civic Festival, with gorgeous floral displays all around the church.

There was a special moment in the concert, when our Mayor, Councillor Sandra Parnell, presented a certificate to Alan Gibbins to thank him for his long service with the band.

And since this is also the year of the Platinum Jubilee, our second half included music from the Royal Fireworks, Fantasia on British sea Songs and Pomp and Circumstance March 1. These gave the evening a very jolly "Last night of the Proms" atmosphere, and the audience seemed to have a good time.

We would like to say a huge thank you to Jordan, Chris, Isla, Lynda, Aidan, Amy, Ray, Stephen and Aidan. It was great to have you there with us!

And thank you to Borehamwood and Eltree Town Council for helping to make this a night to remember.
