Symphony Sounds
On the 9th June 1984 Boscombe Band under the leadership of Bandmaster Geoff Otter took part in the Bandmaster's Councils Festival at the Royal Albert Hall playing Ray Steadman Allen's The Holy War. The UK Territory's annual musical festival has recently been called the "Gospel Arts Festival" and this year moved to Symphony Hall Birmingham taking a new name - "Symphony Sounds".

From The Salvationist
This week's issue of the Salvationist includes an interview with our own Bandmaster and a full page picture of Howard on the cover. As the issue was so popular that it sold out this morning at the Corps, you can read the article on this website if you missed it!

An Australian Easter
Easter 2014 in Boscombe saw an invasion of Australians - with our former commanding officers, James and Jan Condon, returning to lead the weekend and our guests being the Sydney Staff Songsters. Throughout the weekend the many people who had gathered were blessed by the words, the music and the message of Easter.

This entry will not fill in all the holes - but it is intended to be the start of a more regular updating of the Band news once again.
