Arrow Valley Brass plans to celebrate more than 30 years of banding with a 'Band Day' in the Worcestershire village of Inkberrow, where the band is now located.

Support

In addition to their own band, Alcester Victoria, Avonbank, Blockley, Bretforton, Shipston and Stourport bands have accepted invitations to take part, each band playing once in the Village Church and once in a marquee on The Green. The day will end with a concert by old friends The Staffordshire Band.

The band hopes that former players and friends, together with all those who enjoy bands will join them in this lovely setting, blessed with two fine hostelries adjacent to the GreenArrow Valley

Memorable day

This promises to be a memorable day for Dave Stanley who formed Arrow Valley and has been Musical Director for the whole of its existence.

He has conducted several of the bands taking part and in addition to Arrow Valley is currently also conducting at Blockley, where he learned to play as a boy.

The band hopes that former players and friends, together with all those who enjoy bands will join them in this lovely setting, blessed with two fine hostelries adjacent to the Green.
