4/4 Sadly our area result wasn’t what we hoped for but we were proud of our performance & would like to say a special thanks to Dave Barringer, who pushed & encouraged us to be the best we can. Congratulations to the prize winners; we now turn to Spring Festival preparations! 🎶

3/4 We would like to thank Steve for his commitment & contributions over the years as a truly fantastic trombone player & a simply wonderful human being. We are sure that his formal ‘retirement’ won’t be a complete end & we hope to see him with us from time to time in the future.

1/4 What a milestone to recognise for our trombone player, Steve Schramm, whose performance last weekend marked a 40 year association with Lydbrook Band. Sadly, Steve has decided to retire from competitive banding and he will be greatly missed by the entire Lydbrook family.

Come and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lydbrook Club! The band has played here so many times over the years and we are delighted to mark the occasion by performing for our local community at the Club. #lydbrook #brassband #50 @FoDDC @RossonWyeTA
