Watford Band

On Saturday 3rd October the Band, under the direction of Richard Graves, gave another concert in Christ Church. This time they were joined by the Watford Girls' Grammar School Junior Choir, conductor Alison Carr.

Entitled 'Movie Night at the Proms' it gave the Band the chance to shine as they played theme tunes from films featured on the big screen as well as TV.

The girls were in fine form, singing selections from popular musicals ('My Fair Lady' and 'Les Miserables') and light entertainment (including Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven').

The evening drew towards its end with the now traditional 'Last Night at the Proms' menu - Henry Wood's 'Fantasia on British Sea Songs', Parry's 'Jerusalem', Elgar's 'Pomp and Circumstance March Number One, with the audience joining in with great enthusiasm.

Finally, the Girls' Choir joined the Band and soloist Amy Cross in performing 'Time to Say Goodbye'.
