Sun 11th St Denys Church, Sleaford

Mayors Charity Concert
End of Sleaford Live week.

Time: 7:00pm

The weather was scorching, St Deny's Church looked better than ever and the bands played a varied and interesting programme. This concert was to bring four events together that all happened over this weekend. The twinning with Marquette Les Lille, The Mayor's Charity Concert, Sleaford Live 08 and the Sleaford Concert Band's 10th Birthday.

Stage Centre got the concert off in an upbeat fashion. Followed by an interesting arrangement of Jesus Christ Super Star. By now the SCB had settled down and got used to the acoustics within the church. A lively audience enjoyed the first of the bands from Marquette Les Lille who entertained with a compilation of Rock and Roll numbers.

After the interval the second of the two French bands performed acoustic popular music that went down well with the audience. The show stopper had to be the performance of the film Music from Henry V. So much enjoyed by both the band and the audience that an encore was demanded and the band obliged.

A wonderful concert and a fitting way to finish the Sleaford Live 08 week.

Waddington Air Show

Time: 3:45pm - 4:30pm & 5:15pm - 6:00pm

Another excellent day was spent by the Sleaford Concert Band at The RAF Waddington Air Show. We were privileged to be on the same programme as Foss Dyke Band, The Humberside Police Band, Swingtime, The Nottingham Concert Band and the RAF Waddington Voluntary Band. The standard of music was very high and the SCB didn't let the side down. A varied programme of music was performed to a very high standard by the band and the audience obviously enjoyed the choice of music. A big thank you to Cpl Ed Cox for looking after us on the day.
