St George's Day Parade is a damp affair
As the wettest drought on record continues, the predictable April weather did its best to dampen down the St George's Day parade at Royal Wootton Bassett. But undetered, the Band lead the parade down the High Street to Wootton Bassett Church where the St George's Day service took place. The route is well known to the Band, as it is the same as the Rembrance Day parade, only back in November it seemed drier and warmer!

Spring Concert at St Philips Church
Preparations for the Band's Spring Concert are more challenging that usual, as the Band's Musical Director, Mike Lock, is unwell. Rehearsals have been taken by guest conductors, and the conductor on the evening will be Major Peter Clarke. Peter is a familar face in front of the Band, having been Musical Director himself for a brief period. The Band wishes Mike a speedy recovery, and hope to see him back in front in the near future. In the mean time, the Spring Concert will feature a mix of music, some old favourites as well as some new numbers, but to find out what, you'll need to come along and listen. Tickets are available from Band members, or on the door subject to availability.

Why not come along to our training band?
Swindon Pegasus Brass has relaunched it's Training Band on Saturday mornings. Having moved to Wednesday evening a few years ago, the Band has decided to move back to Saturday mornings. If you have always wanted to learn, but have been put off by the cost, then this could be the opportunity for you. The Band can provide free instruments, and an opportunity to learn in its purpose built rehearsal rooms, helped by experienced, CRB cleared tutors. So if you are starting out for the first time, if you cannot afford the increasing costs of instrument hire, or are simply disillusioned by your current set up, then why not get in in touch? Members of the Band will be appearing at a number of school fetes throughout the summer, and will provide the opportunity to listen to a brass band, and even try an instrument or two. Check the Band's event schedule to find out where and when. For further information, contact us at Swindon School of Brass...

Swindon School of Brass

Swindon Pegasus Brass operates a youth policy to provide young people with the opportunity to play, and to ensure the band has future generations of players. We can provide instruments, and currently rehearse on a Saturday morning. The group is relaxed, with a strong emphasis on enjoyment. If you are interested in playing, please get in touch.

We would also like to hear from music teachers with an hour or two to spare to help guide the less experienced players.
