Brothers in Brass
These two brothers started playing
in Open Band last September 2022.
Kit is only 6 and won a talent show
at school playing ‘We Will Rock You’
and Rory, the elder played a Jazz
piece at School. The first time he’d
ever performed in public doing
anything!
These two brothers started playing
in Stantonbury Brass in 1974 - Keith
has previously been Principal,
Euphonium, percussionist and now
plays 2nd Baritone, Dale has retired
from Horn playing, but is looking
forward to the 50th!
These two brothers started playing
in Stantonbury Brass in 1974 -both
continue to be stalwart members of
Olney Brass - Andy is our esteemed
chairman and Simon has registered
more players for contests than he
has had pints in the Bell and Bear!
(Fake news!)
Band Weddings
Congratulations to Mr and Mrs Matthew Atkinson (Principal Cornet) on the occasion of their wedding in Las Vegas earlier this month. Matt married Rebecca Stoneman (ex baritone player) before flying home and playing at the Proms Concert whilst suffering jet lag!
More Nostalgia - just to see if everyone is still reading this!
I don't think anyone will thank me for these!
Tony Moroney
Several band members attended the
funeral of Tony ex Chairman and first
trombone player with the band on 28th
March. He will be fondly remembered for
moving the band forward during a
difficult period.
He threw himself into band life and this
message from the inaugural concert
program shows what he achieved during
his time with us.
We extend our sympathy to his son
Daniel, also an ex player and all of his
family at this sad time
