Bradwell enjoy Olympic spotlight

The Bradwell Band has enjoyed its moment in the Olympic spotlight thanks to Brass the Baton.

Bradwell Silver Band
 

The Bradwell Band has been enjoying their moment in the Olympic spotlight in their home town of Milton Keynes – even without a single athlete in sight!

Flag

The band led the carnival parade in New Bradwell, featuring one of their Development Group members Lucas Chappell, who carried the official ‘Brass the Baton’ flag.

With great crowds out to see the action and hear the music, Bradwell’s conductor, Brian Keech used the yellow Baton to direct a performance of ‘Going the Distance’.

The baton was then passed on to a representative from the Battle Town Band.
