New look

The new look band is making great progress and recently spent the weekend with Steve Pritchard-Jones recording a CD to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the West Mercia Constabulary.

On Saturday 12th July the band joined forces with the Kentwood Choir from Swindon for a concert in Evesham. On the 28th July they visited Cornwall for a five day concert tour.

New reharsal room

After several years having to rehearse in a canteen the band on their return from the summer break will move to their own rehearsal room at Police Headquarters at Hindlip. This is an exciting time for the band as they approach their 21st anniversary.
