Bon Accord Silver Band will perform tunes from musical theatre at Fountainhall at the Stocket (former Midstocket Church, Harcourt Road) on Sunday, October 8, at 3 pm.
Playing a mixture of classics as well as some of the newer musicals to hit the West End/Broadway, the Bon-Accord Silver Band will Strike up the Band and take you Over the Rainbow with music from Wicked, Merano, Matilda, Chess and Les Miserables. Hoping that these will be some of your Favourite Things, they might even throw in an encore.
Entirely self-funded, the Bon Accord Silver Band was originally formed in 1962 to provide a Brass Band for school leavers to play in. Going from strength to strength and regularly performing at events for Aberdeen City Council and Aberdeenshire, the Band has progressively grown and expanded, even counting with a B Band since 1980. The Band has regularly represented Scotland at the British National Finals and European Championships and they hold annual charity concerts with the purpose of fundraising money for different causes such as Hamish Dear’s, Warm Hugs, The Air Ambulance, RNLI, The Sandpiper Trust and Charlie House.
