Happy new year to all readers!.

At the time of writing we are about to get the tinsel from the attic together with the Santa hats for the start of the hectic Christmas season.  It is quite nice to start in December this time and not (as has happened!) before Remembrance Sunday!

We hope that anyone who came to our Christmas concerts enjoyed them and it is good to have audiences back to the numbers pre-covid.

Despite the best efforts of Storm Babet, our October ‘Magic of the Musicals’ concerts went well with over 200 people in the audience over the two nights.  The Friday was a challenge with the heavy rain meaning some band members couldn’t get there but ‘the show must go on!’

Sadly, as we know this is the last edition of the Taverham Newsletter. Having written the Band article for over 44 years it is sad this has happened. The Band articles will continue in the Just Regional Magazine so keep your eyes peeled! Finally just to say a big thank you to David and the production team and all those editors and volunteers preceding David for all their effort in keeping the newsletter running.

Finally on behalf of Taverham Band can I wish all readers a very Happy Christmas and prosperous 2024.  Next year will be the Band’s 50^th Anniversary and we have a host of things lined up!

Hope to see you soon!

The Band held it’s AGM in September and long-standing member Paul Anderson was elected as our new President.  Summer performances came to an end with 3 concerts at Kelling Heath holiday park and a concert at Blofield Church.  Rehearsals rapidly switched to our Autumn, Remembrance and Christmas programmes – always a hectic time of the year!

The season of summer concerts is in full swing with some dates for your diaries :

• Saturday September 9th – 1pm to 3pm – Kelling Heath
• Sunday September 17th – 3pm – Blofield Church

September sees some of our younger members heading off to university. We wish euphonium player Henry Stevens and trombone player James Clarke all the very best.

Henry will be studying music at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. It makes band members very proud when someone who has learned from scratch with us progresses to study music at advanced level and goes on to have a career in music.

Band membership is very good but we do have a vacancy for a B-flat tuba player, if anyone knows anyone….
