TOWCESTER STUDIO BAND
Lockdown Fun!
During these difficult times, TSB have been coming up with a variety of ways to keep our supporters both up-to-date and entertained.
Over the last few months, TSB have joined 'the band wagon' by taking on the Lockdown Performance Challenge. They are delighted to have completed 3 virtual performances!
The band would also like to thank their 1st Baritone player, Lyn Stoneman for his amazing IT wizardry.
TSB are very much looking forward to rehearsing and performing together again, but until the Government announce that it's safe for us to resume our weekly rehearsals, we are unable to do this. In the meantime, please enjoy our lockdown performances.

VJ Day
The 15th August 2020 marked the 75th anniversary of VJ Day, marking both the surrender of Japan and the end of the Second World War. We remember and recognise all those who served and sacrificed in the Far East and ultimately brought an end to the Second World War.
TSB's Mark Limbert sounded the Last Post for VJ Day 75 on Bury Mount the morning of the anniversary. Well done and thank you, Mark.

A-Level Success
Congratulations to one of our Solo cornet players, Penelope Tollervey, on her fantastic A-level results. She gained A*/A/A which means she'll be starting to read for an MSc in Mathematics at Lancaster University in October. Her outstanding grades also mean she qualifies for a scholarship too! Penelope says she has loved being a member of Towcester Studio Band and she'll definitely be back to play during the holidays. She tells us that the welcome, warmth and support of the TSB musical family has meant a lot to her, and she believes it shows everything that is good about Brass Banding and amateur music making. Good luck Penelope and we look forward to seeing you in the holidays.
