Targets sought for Arrow Valley

Any former players, supporters and friends of Arrow Valley Brass are being sought from all over the country to help celebrate their 40th anniversary later this year.

Arrow
  All Arrows point to a great re-union night...

Arrow Valley Brass is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and will be holding a re-union evening on 21st October.

The Inkberrow based organisation was originally formed as Alcester Victoria Youth Band, and will hold the event at Inkberrow Village Hall where they have rehearsed for the last seven years.

Conduct

Founder, Dave Stanley has remained as Musical Director for the whole time, though much of the current direction is now undertaken by professional adviser, and good friend, Andy Culshaw.

Both men will conduct at the re-union, where there will be a chance for former members, friends and those who have helped the band, to bring their instruments to play, as well as the opportunity to go over old times and to enjoy themselves.

The band would love to hear from former members and friends, particularly anyone hoping to attend on 21st October4BR
