Are there any Glossop Tunes that are specific to Glossop?
I may be asking someone to write us a March, to be used as a sort of signature tune, and was wondering if we could incorporate any local tunes into it.

**UPDATE**
Although there is some flood damage to the bandroom, it is business as usual.
Band tonight is ON.

The band will be on stage at the Altrincham Garrick Playhouse from 14th/19th January in a repeat performance of 'Brassed Off' after playing there two years ago.

Conductor Matthew Stringer began the concert with the March
Barnard Castle, this was followed by the Overture The Magic Flute.
The first soloist of the evening Pam Smith on Cornet played "Share My Yolk which was then followed by "Putting on the Ritz" (Irving Berlin). George Gershwin's "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess with Soprano Cornet Soloist Louise Grain was followed by "Someone to Watch over Me" (Alan Fernie) and the first half ended with Goff Richards "Breezing Down Broadway"
The second half began with the March "Mid West" then "Ticket to Ride" and Adam O'Neil (Euphonium) performed the solo "Holy Well"
"Singing in the Rain". "Irish Blessing" and "Malaguena" quickly folloed and the evening was brought to an end with "The Lord's My Shepherd" and an "American Trilogy". The band was thanked for the great start to the Autumn programme of concerts and they were wished every success in the forthcoming National Championships to be held in Harrogate at the end of September.
