On the 1st October we held our anniversary reunion dinner at Middleton Arena. \u00a0It was a lovely evening beginning with a performance from the youth band during the champagne reception.<\/p>\n

\"Youth
Youth band 140th Reunion Dinner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was so lovely to welcome and catch up with so many many past players, conductors and associates of the band from over the years.<\/p>\n

After receiving our guests who included the mayor of Rochdale, there followed \u00a0a live performance of a piece specially written for the band for this occasion, entitled Perseverance and composed by our own very talented\u00a0Musical Director, Andrew Baker.
\n\u2018Perseverance\u2019 was commissioned by Middleton Band to mark their 140th anniversary in 2016. The title is taken from the original name of the 1876 band, the Middleton \u2018Perseverance\u2019 Drum and Fife Band and reflects the band’s will to survive through adversity. A full synopsis of our commissioned piece can be found here:<\/p>\n

\u2018Perseverance\u2019 was commissioned\u00a0using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England, and the performance was preceded by a short film by the renowned photographer and videographer Andy Marshall<\/a>, also funded by Arts Council England which explains something of the background to the piece and to the 140th anniversary celebrations. Unfortunately, the video did not play properly on the night with only the audio working. We now have it working and are proud to present it to you below!<\/p>\n
