Newtongrange Silver Band will be travelling to northwest Germany on 1st July to renew its 31 year friendship with Musikcorps Würm eV and take part in the Würm eV Summer Fair.
Over the years there have been numerous successful exchanges and it is anticipated that this will be another enjoyable joining together of the two bands.
Composer in Residence, Alan Fernie, has written the piece "Citius, Altius, Fortius" especially for the occasion and it will be premiered at the 2nd July concert.
Newtongrange Silver Band would like to thank all the guest players accompanying us on this trip and give a special mention to Kevin Smith for the hard work he has put in to the organisation of the event.
The band will be giving an open rehearsal on Thursday 4 March at the Scottish Mining Museum in Newtongrange as it continues its preparation for the forthcoming Scottish Championships.
All are welcome to come and listen to the band being put through its paces as Nigel Boddice rehearses English Heritage. The rehearsal starts at 7.30pm.
There are no events to display.
