On Saturday 23 May, the Croydon Brass Band performed an intimate concert at South Croydon Anglican Church. The program featured a varied selection of music, including marches, hymns, film favourites, and Disney classics.

Since COVID, the band has undergone a period of transformation, welcoming many new members into its ranks. Several members were recognised for having been involved with the group for 12 months or less, highlighting the band’s recent growth and renewal. Now back at full strength, the focus has shifted to making music together.

Just as important as the music itself, audience members were treated to some insightful commentary by the band’s musical director and MC, Melina Benger followed by a delightful afternoon tea, making for a warm and enjoyable community event.
