Christmas 2023
Instead of our usual full concert at Christmas, this year we combined our senior and youth bands to have a little in-house concert, principally so that the youngsters had another opportunity to perform, which they love, and so that they could experience being in a big band. That gave us a very splendid 30 piece band, and with friends and family as our audience, we had a thoroughly enjoyable and intimate concert. We’ve also been out with the youth band for the Big Switch On of the Christmas lights in the high street, where we accompanied the Mayfield Girls’ school choir, and the senior band have played carols at Sussex Trees, and at St Dunstan’s Christmas fair

So it’s been busy, and at the time of writing, we still have three carolling jobs to do, which we all very much enjoy, and then at 12am on Christmas Eve, we can relax. But perhaps only briefly, as we are considering a spring concert as we were unable to do a full Christmas concert.

The band has now signed up to the Wealden Community Lottery, so do please support us by going to www.wealdencommunitylottery.co.uk and search for Mayfield Band. There are decent cash prizes, and 60% of your money goes to good causes, 50% of it to the band. Every little helps.
