Vacancies! We particularly need front row cornets at the moment, but we love to see you whatever your instrument - please get in touch, see the contact details below. (If you do fancy having a go, whatever your level, we do have instruments in the cupboard - they really could do with a blow through) pick of the month West Chiltington Silver Band on Facebook About the band: Established in 1908, West Chiltington Silver Band is successfully managing to buck a trend that has seen the end of many traditional brass bands. Thanks to MD Annette's firm but gentle leadership the band nearly always fills the practise room to the brim! This friendly West Sussex brass band has continued its renaissance under MD Annette with an April wedding – playing for the arrival of the newlyweds at their reception in West Chiltington Village Hall. A beautiful spring day and a very satisfactory performance by the band! Pictures are on our gallery pages… Summer'08 has seen our successful centennial celebrations come and go. A really fun tour, playing around local towns and villages on the top of an open top bus. We followed this with a big summer party with invited guests from our near history and beyond. Pictures of both events are in the gallery Please have a look at our pictures for a good idea of who we are. Of course the best way to find out about us is to come and meet us on Wednesday nights. We always welcome new players for all brass, age isn't a problem - our youngest full band member is 10, while our oldest is - well pretty old. We have no auditions and no minimum grades - the aim is to enjoy playing together, generally have fun and to maintain the brass band tradition in our beautiful West Sussex corner of rural England. If you are interested in booking the band or would like to play then please contact us. Please email Julie for more details, phone on 01798 813660 or feel free to just turn up - practice every Wed 8:00 - 9:30 pm email - enquiries@westchiltsilverband.org
