The concert set off with the senior band playing three items follow then by Professor Wilby with Bach's Fantasia on 'Komm, Heiliger Geist' BWV 651, our B Band then played a selection of items after which the senior band along with organ finished the first half with Suite Gothique.
The second half was set off with the B band before Professor Wilby performed Theodor Dubois: Toccata in G (1886). The penultimate item with the senior band was the Finale from Saint-Saens Organ Symphony after which both bands and organ joined for the grand finale of Sullivan's Lost Chord.
