BUCKINGHAM TWINNING ASSOCIATION CONCERT WITH BRASS BAND NORD PAS de CALAIS

Friday 4th April was a momentous occasion when the band joined forces with the Brass Band Nord Pas de Calais based in Mouvaux near Lille. Brass Band Nord Pas de Calais were the first section winners at the European Championships in 2002. The concert, in Buckingham church, was arranged as part of the celebrations for the visitors from the Buckingham twin town of Mouvaux. Great Horwood took the stage for the first part of the concert and included their own "Horwood Reflections" as part of the programme. The Brass Band Nord Pas de Calais then took the stage and before starting their programme, Musical Director Philippe Lorthios, was presented with a set of parts for Horwood Reflections on behalf of the Great Horwood Silver Band by MD, Roy Lack. After their performance which included a stunning Soprano Cornet solo, the bands joined forces for the final two items. Philippe Lorthios conducted the song setting "I Know Thou Art Mine" and the concert concluded with the "Tocatta" from "Suite Gothique" conducted by Roy Lack.The church was packed to capacity by a very appreciative audience with every item receiving extended applause. The photo, taken by Beryl lack, shows rehearsals in progress for the final item on the programme
