The band are preparing for their annual performances at world famous Minack Theatre, Porthcurno this weekend (27/28 September). From its glorious surroundings coupled with a spectacular fireworks display, Sir
Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance and Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture the Minack Theatre is the perfect setting. This year we see the return of the legendary Richard Evans at the helm with his fantastic humour, he's always a favourite with the audience. This year the band will also be featuring rising trumpet star, Mark Harrison. Mark has worked with the band previously and is always an entertaining personality. The Proms at the Minack always attracts a sell out audience bringing their flags and singing voices whatever the weather, rain or shine.

7/1/2014

0 Comments

 
Building on their success at the recent Area and Spring festival contests, Mount Charles Band are delighted to announce a new pairing in their euphonium section.

We would like to welcome Jackie Berry, who takes up the 2nd euphonium chair to the band.  Jackie has been playing for 35 years and has played with the Indian Queens, St Austell and most recently Bugle bands. 

Taking up the principal euphonium chair is Jeremy Taylor.  Jeremy is returning to the band after a few months away and we are thrilled to have him back. Jeremy has also been playing in excess of 30 years and as a band we couldn’t be happier to have two such experienced players in the ranks. 

Derek Thomas, Chairman says “I am delighted to see a return to the band after a short spell away of Jeremy, and also to welcome Jackie to the team.  They both bring a wealth of experience and plenty of enthusiasm”.
