Test Valley Brass recently hosted the Cambridge University Brass Band for a concert, which proved to be a great success.

Tour stop

Cambridge University Brass stopped off in Andover while on a tour of the south of England and the opportunity arose to perform together with the young players of Test Valley Brass, as Will Keen, a previous member of Test Valley Brass is now studying at Cambridge University.

The Bands played to an appreciative audience who enjoyed a fun evening of light music including a rousing climax of the Thunderbirds theme music and the encore of The Florentina March.
