Loxley Silver Band is looking to gain 600 votes to help them in their bid to develop a concert standard percussion section.

Loxley has been offered £5000 by the OneFamily Foundation if they can get 600 votes from the community before the end of this month, so if you are able to support them, why not go to the OneFamily Foundation website: https://foundation.onefamily.com and give them a helping X in the box.

No cymbals

Band Secretary Stuart Young, told 4BR: "The band currently doesn't even own a set of cymbals to crash together and, in its 126 year history, has never been able to afford its own concert standard percussion equipment".

he award will enable Loxley to offer a musical education to any member of the community. Both adults and children alike would be encouraged to join the bandLoxley Silver Band

Learners

He added: "The award will enable Loxley to offer a musical education to any member of the community. Both adults and children alike would be encouraged to join the band.

Learners at all levels could develop musical and life skills such as teamwork, self-confidence, and of course have fun."
