The band Performs at Pershore Midsummer Brass

The JLR Band was delighted to take part in this years Midsummer Brass Festival held in the magnificent surroundings of Pershore Abbey.

The band played a variety of items including Heroic Fanfare, Panache for Euphonium, Kingdom Triumphant all to a capacity audience.

The highlight however was to play the world premier of The Path to Peace written by Phil Harper in memory of John Davis, father to our own Louise Davis. We would like to thank the Davis family for the opportunity to play this wonderful piece of music in memory of John.  

Our second day of brass exceeds expectations!

The 17th November saw the band in conjunction with Warwickshire Music Services hold our second day of brass at the Famous Warwick School. Over 90 children from Warwickshire and the surrounding counties joined the Jaguar land Rover Band in a day of making music.

"After the 1st day of brass held earlier in the year we were keen to keep up the enthusiasm with the children" commented Band Manager Simon Archer. After the amazing response from the first day of brass we have been looking forward to this day immensely. The band gets so much out of working with the children and we hope we do nothing more than to encourage them to continue with their music making".
