'Stage and Screen' concert - Sunday 5th October 2008
A reminder that Friary's second in a series of local concerts is on Sunday 5th October 2008

After their recent win at Wychavon Festival of Brass entertainment contest last weekend, Friary Guildford Brass Band will present the second concert in a series at Weyfield Primary School, Guildford on Sunday 5th October. Starting at 3pm, the Southern Counties band of the year will perform a selection of music from some of your all-time favourite films and the theatre productions. After receiving many positive comments from supporters at the first concert, the band are aiming to build on the concert’s successes in order to secure a regular series of excellent brass band concerts in Guildford. Those of you that enjoyed the last or previous Friary concerts, please please support the band again by bringing someone to their first (and hopefully not last) Friary Concert!

Tickets are £7.50 each, or £12 for both of the remaining concerts in the series. Because of the intimate nature of the venue, we recommend ordering your tickets in advance, however, and depending on availability, tickets may also be available on the door. Plenty of free parking is available in the school grounds. To book, simply print off and complete the order form below and send together with a cheque made payable to "Friary Guildford Brass Band" to Friary Guildford Brass Band, 24 Arethusa Way Bisley, Woking, Surrey GU24 9BX.
