Money and marriage at West Mercia Police

The West Mercia Police Band has been busy with money and marriage of late.

West Mercia
 

The Band of West Mercia Police and conductor Steve Pritchard-Jones recently celebrated the marriage of Tim Stock (Eb Bass) and Vicky Cook (Librarian).

The band performed a selection of music before and during the church ceremony. All the band wish the couple well for the future.

Millions

The band recently performed at the new £28 million Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury for a Summer Charity Concert featuring a massed choir of over 250 school children and Corps of Drums of Belvidere School.

Funds

The Police band performed its own programme of music and accompanied the choir and the Corps of Drums. £2,000 was raised in aid of Hope House Children's Hospice in Oswestry taking the total amount raised by the band between May and July to a little over £4,000 for good causes.
