Wantage Silver Band

A coach full of Wantage players and supporters journeyed to Greenwich Royal Park on Sunday 4th July, where the "A" Band played in the magnificent bandstand, conducted by Phil Bailey. This was our second visit, and the weather was perfect. As it was American Independence Day the band began their two and a half hour programme with 'The Stars and Stripes'. The coincidence of a huge Cancer Charity run on Blackheath just outside the Park made parking the coach an unexpected adventure due to the huge crowds, but ensured an especially large and appreciative audience.
