The band has once again held it’s annual Christmas Concert in St Andrews Church in Chinnor. Both the Senior and Training bands were on show to a really large and appreciative audience and a great night was had by all. A special well done to the evenings soloists, Ray Scotcher, Karen Burton and Tris Church who all played brilliantly. And of course a special mention to Alison Jamieson and our fantastic Training Band and their compère Father Christmas (Aka Sara Readings) As usual they put on a brilliant performance and really show that the future of our organisation is in good hands!
Carolling is upon us!
The band has just attended their 1st Carolling engagement of the Xmas season when they attended the Kingston Blount Xmas Fayre on the 30th of November.Feedback was really complimentary from the organisers
“I can’t tell you what an enormous difference the presence of the band made again last night. Quite simply the music takes the fayre to another level and your players are so enthusiastic and polite. The Chinnor Silver Band deserves its excellent reputation and your contribution last night was simply wonderful”
Happy customers is what it’s all about! 
Cheltenham Contest Success 19th November 2017
The Band has recently performed at the GBBA’s Winter Contest in Cheltenham where they walked away with 6 trophies! A fantastic performance saw the band placed 1st in both the March and the Testpiece. They were also awarded best Horn section, Best Euphonium (Tris Church) and their flugelhorn player (Karen Burton) was awarded best instrumentalist. They then finished the day nicely by winning the best second section band.This was a fantastic day all round for the band and they also found themselves being recorded for Triangle Radio with their conductor (David Pegram) also being interviewed!
