The band played in yet another very successful "Brass and a Glass" Christmas concert a few weeks before Christmas, & managed to raise in the region of £2,800. The money will go towards the funds required for the much needed repairs to the
band-room roof. This Christmas concert, held at St Andrew's Chuch in Chinnor, has become a regular fixture in the band's calendar and gets more popular year on year. The band would like to thank everybody involved for making the event run so smoothly & of course thanks to all the people who come to watch & support the band year after year.
