Marching on

Welcome March and the beginning of Spring! The month starts with St David's Day so we're marking it with a Welsh tune. It's called "Morfa'r frenhines" which we (not being fluent in the language) understood to mean "The Queen's march". That seemed odd as it's a waltz but it's a good tune and we like playing it.  But now we stand corrected.  Morfa doesn't mean march at all! A Welsh morfa is a saltmarsh, just like ours here in Grange. So maybe The Sands Band becomes Band Morfa if we travel south and over the border? Click on the video to hear the tune.

It's still Summer!

It's still Summer in Grange-over-Sands.  It must be, because the Sands Band is playing for a Summer Fair.  It's on Saturday 20 September at Bridge House Residential Home, Flookburgh, LA11 7JS and we are playing from 1.00 to 2.15 p.m.  Do come along and help us help them to raise money for a new Summer house.  You see?  If it's a Summer house it must still be Summer!  QED.

Deck the hall!

Yes, the Sands Band is at Levens Hall on Saturday 13th December from 11.00 to 1.00 and it has been beautifully decked for Christmas with boughs of holly and lots more besides.  There is a huge Christmas tree in the Great Hall to welcome visitors as they come in, and that's where we'll be playing.  The music is FREE with your Hall admission ticket so do come and share some Christmas joy. Here's another tip for your visit - take a look at the Wassail Cup in the Dining Room.  We'll be doing some Wassailing ourselves, so you can find out what that's all about. Hope to see you there!
