A
Compact Disc of my
compositions!
Formed
in 1983, The
Invicta Concert Band
comprises three kinds of
instruments - woodwind
(piccolos, flutes, oboes,
clarinets and
saxophones), brass
(trumpets, French horns,
trombones, euphoniums and
tubas), and percussion
(drums, tympani,
cymbals,tubular bells,
xylophone rtc.). It has
the same formation as a
military band.
The
Band is based in Herne
Bay (Kent) and consists
of a mixture of local
amateur players and some
seasoned professionals, a
lot of whom have
backgrounds in either
military services or the
teaching profession.
The
traditional activity of
the Band is in servicing
the coastal bandstands of
Kent during the summer
season. The Band do
however play further
afield and have played
the famous bandstand at
Eastbourne and, in recent
years, has been invited
to perform during the
summer in the grounds of
Westminster Abbey during
their annual "Bands
on the Lawn" event,
coupled with various
private engagements,
festival events and
commissions.
