What a great day we had at Peasholm with some fantastic audience feedback  "Comments from the very appreciative Scarborough audience: What a great sound the Band makes... very good balance of different moods in the repertoire- stirring marches, calm and reflective ballads, foot-tapping show tunes... the MD is doing a great job and we can hear his excellent introduction to each item (other bands don't use the microphone effectively). One listener put folding money into the collection box and said "Best band this season- and I've heard every one of 'em!""

Our Events and Engagement Trustee, Tracey Popham applied for a Street Collection Permit from North Yorkshire Council to collect money within Peasholm Park to raise money for Band funds. This was held on Sunday 31st August 25.  £80 was collect and no expenses occurred.

We were also delighted to sell 22 of our recipe books which is raising funds to help us celebrate our 90th Anniversary in 2026.

Thank you to everyone that came along, contributed and especially those that braved the rainstorm.
