The calm before the Christmas storm.

This Sunday is Remembrance Day. The combined bands of Carlton Brass will be marching in tribute in the Calverton remembrance parade as well as a small band presence for the service at st Wilfred’s church.

In the world of brass bands, we have to get our Christmas heads on earlier than most. As is customary our first Christmas event for the season will be at Brookfield’s garden centre where Training Band will be playing some carols and choice Christmas pieces for Santa’s arrival at his grotto.

Both bands have a packed schedule this year including several concerts, fairs and light switch-ons. Below is the full schedule for the Christmas period, so you’ll know exactly where our bands are playing all the way into the new year!
