PolySteel milestone

40th anniversary for the Yeovil champions — and they would like to find some old faces...

PolySteel
 

This year the PolySteel Band is celebrating it's 40th anniversary and to mark this milestone the band will be holding a 40th Anniversary Concert in April.

Years gone by

The band will be performing music from years gone by and will be joined by former conductors who will be sharing the baton with PolySteel's current MD, Philip Harper.

The band has informed 4BR that they would like to hear from any former players of PolySteel/Flowers who would be interested in attending the concert in Cheltenham.

Reminisce

There will be a bar and buffet available after the evenings proceedings where players can reminisce about years gone by and would also provide a great opportunity to catch up with many old friends.

If anybody is interested in attending the concert, please email the band's managing director Karin Lythell at: [email] md@polysteelband.co.uk[/email] or by phone on 01452 612601.
