Hathern Training Band at the Harvest Festival
Oct. 2, 2016
Every year Training Band plays at Hathern Parish Church’s Harvest Festival. The youngsters had been practising for weeks and were looking forward to the performance on 2 October with a combination of anticipation and trepidation. They played three hymns, Come Ye Joyful People Come, All Things Bright and Beautiful and We Plough the Fields with Tractors. No, its not a mistake these are new words to the familiar old hymn. The performance was a great success. Licensed Reader Sue Hack, who conducted the service, congratulated the band on their excellent playing. Dave Newman said “I’m really pleased with our youngsters. They concentrated well and gave the congregation a fine performance. As you know, we have been visiting schools and publicising the Training Band during 2016, and we’ve recruited a number of new members.” The future of Hathern Band looks very bright!
