2005

In 2005 the band celebrated its 25th anniversary with a hugely successful concert at Elesecar Heritage Centre, featuring the band in all its roles of concert band, marching band, corps of drums and heraldic fanfare trumpeters. The concert raised over £1000 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity. In the autumn of 2005 the band was engaged by Malta Tourism authority to perform across Malta and culminated with daily performances at the 2005 Malta Military tattoo. Two weeks later saw the band combine with the West Yorkshire Police Band and March through the City of London at the Lord Mayors Show. 2006 saw the band focus its activities on community based events and we support local charities, churches and voluntary groups to raise essential funding. A rewarding trip to London saw the band perform to 400 Orthodox Jewish children at a holiday club. Many have never experienced live music before and the audience of 4-15 year olds were sat spellbound.
