Welcome
On behalf of the Cheltenham Silver Band & the Friends of Hatherley Park, I am delighted to welcome you all to Brass In The Park. This is the first ever concert in association with Friends of Hatherley Park & we are excited to re-connect with the local community in such a wonderful setting, as we haven’t been able for a while due to the covid pandemic.
Our thanks to the Friends Of Hatherley Park for helping us put on today’s concert which we hope will become an annual event. A special thankyou to Adena Cahill for traveling to be with us today & leading the singing in the finale. Our thanks also to the sponsors today, without whom this wouldn't have been possible. Lastly thankyou to you, the audience for coming to support the event. Next years “Brass in the Park” will hopefully be in June so please keep a look out for the date & invite your friends along. We are very proud to be part of the Cheltenham community, please continue to support us. Now, please sit back, enjoy your picnic, have your face painted, listen to the band & relax. I look forward to joining in & hearing you sing during the finale.

This afternoon promises to be a celebration of brass band music with something for all the family. Cheltenham Silver Band continually strives to encourage the brass players of the future. We have 2 training bands for starter & intermediate players of all ages. All are welcome & you might like to have a go on one of our training instruments in the park this afternoon. For those budding percussionists amongst you we have instruments for you to try as well. See if you can blow a note or bash a rhythm!
