In
fact we are having a party!
Did
you ever play with the band? Have you ever been part of
the band organisation in any way, or even just a good friend
to WCSB?
Yes?
Good! Then please let us know! We'd like to get in touch.
For
starters, we'd love you to be our guest at our
Tent
Event party in the
evening of Sunday July 13th 2008!
Just
drop us an
email
and we'll save you your free invitation.
Please don't miss a golden opportunity to catch up with
old friends.
It
is completely free - our way to saying thanks to those on
whose foundations today's band is built.
Even
if you can't make it, please do get in touch - we'd love
to hear from you!
Chestnut
Tree House
We
are proud to be supporting Chestnut Tree House throughout
our birthday year! (see the link to the left). We hope we
can really achieve something worthwhile, so yes - we will
be collecting money!
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 Chairman Doug Golds' stalwart leadership,
the band has survived membership dips and is now definitely
thriving!
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…
A
period of very intensive practise preceded our first full
concert under the new management in June 07, again in the
Village Hall, we hosted a well received joint event in partnership
with Slinfold Handbell Ringers.
The
band has now finished its busy Christmas programme and we
now are working towards our centenary celebrations in July.
(Yes - lots of committee meetings!!)
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.
If
you do fancy having a go, whatever your level, then we do
have instruments in the cupboard - they really could do
with a blow through. Please contact us.
