Hail Caesar for Cobham

15-Sep-2009
The Cobham Band has been going from Caesar to Seasongs to help two fellow bands.

The Cobham Band recently went from 'Caesar' to 'Seasongs' as they helped both Walton and Cobham celebrate National Heritage Day.

Roman

Starting in Walton the band played by the Thames as Caesar sailed past on a canal barge - the Byfleet Boat Club splendidly presenting the Roman theme of the day by dressing up themselves and their boats.

Seasongs

A few hours to let the brass players' lips rest before they were back in action in St Andrew's Church, Cobham playing Sir Henry Wood's 'Fantasia on British Seasongs' for Cobham's first 'Last Night of the Proms' concert.

Soprano Alice Bishop sang beautifully as the guest soloist and also lead the sell-out audience in the traditional 'Jerusalem' and 'Land of Hope Glory'.
