Marsden look towards next 125 years

Marsden Silver Prize Band will be looking to develop the first seeds of playing talent for the next 125 years.

Marsden
 

Ahead of their forthcoming 125th anniversary concert on 28th June, Marsden Silver Band will be looking to enthuse the next generation of players who will hopefully go on and fills its ranks over coming years.

Free workshop

The band will be hosting a workshop afternoon for players under the age of 19 and of at least Grade 3 standard, who will work with Marsden MD Glyn Williams and tutors from the band.

Entry into the workshop band is free and it takes place at the Marsden bandroom starting at 1.30pm.

More information

Further information can be sought at the band’s facebook and twitter pages.
