Cambridge Uni looking for old alumni

The Cambridge University Brass Band is 25 yers old this year and is looking to contact old alumni

 

The Cambridge University Brass Band will be celebrating its 25th anniversary later this year, amking it one of the oldest university brass bands in the country.

Alumni

In the past quarter of a century, the band has gone from strength to strength, playing in varsity concerts with Oxford, the UniBrass contest and hosting their own annual tour.

As with every student band, the social life is very good indeed — and as a result the band is looking to celebrate their 25th anniversary through their alumni association — 'Friends of Cambridge University Brass Band'.

Our old members have spread out to brass bands all over the country and I'm sure they would like to relive old university challenges once more!Jeremy Sakstein

Old members

Friends of Cambridge University Brass Band Chairman, Jeremy Sakstein told 4BR: "The band will be holding a two day event for old members in Cambridge on the 6th of May."

He added: "We are also holding a special dinner the night before. Our old members have spread out to brass bands all over the country and I'm sure they would like to relive old university challenges once more!"
