The Band featured in the last full school assembly of the Spring Term and can be seen here practicing before the pupils and staff came into the hall. It was also Mrs Fielding's birthday so we played a special "Happy Birthday" just for her!

The Band was invited to perform at a meeting of the Blackpool Parent Forum which supports parents and carers of young people from babies to 25 years. We were more than happy to support the event and hopefully we entertained the hundreds of attendees who listened to our music.

The Band performed at the "Be Who You Want To Be" initiative in front of the very large crowd packed into the Library. A BBC news team came to film the event and the Band appeared on the Look North programme which was very exciting for us. Well done, the Band!

The musicians with a connection to PCA performed superbly at the Schools Alive concert and were well rewarded with a standing ovation. Our hours of practice on Tuesday evenings throughout the previous year certainly paid off for us - and the audience!

Our last off-site performance was for the pupils and staff at Woodlands School who sang along to our Carols and Christmas tunes with gusto and obviously loved doing so. It's a pity we can't have Christmas more often - maybe we should ask Santa for that as a gift!

The Band had a great turnout of older pupils for our trip today and we sounded [if it's possible!] better than ever. There is always a very welcoming atmosphere at Sam's Place and today was no different. There was a big crowd singing along so......... thank you!
