As 2025 draws to a close, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who has supported Phoenix Brass over the past year. Thank you to the members of the ‘Friends of Phoenix’, assisting behind the scenes at certain events, and the commitment of everyone associated with the band.
Sadly, some of our supporters of the band have passed away this year and we will miss them. Our thoughts are with their families at this time of the year.
During 2025 the band has been pleased to support many organisations both in fund raising and giving enjoyment and pleasure. This has only been possible through the dedication and commitment of all the musicians who, week in week out attend rehearsals and have travelled the large area our engagements have covered. I would like to thank all the players most sincerely for all their hard work in making the last twelve months another good year for the Band.
If you are reading this and are interested in joining Phoenix, then the Band usually rehearses every Tuesday and Thursday at Froxfield War Memorial Hall from 7:30pm to 9.30pm. We also have a Training Section for completely new players, or previous players who wish to resume their musical skills, that meets at the Froxfield War Memorial Hall on Saturday mornings. If you are interested in joining or would like more information, please visit our Website (www.phoenixbrassband.co.uk).
Finally, if you are interested in booking Phoenix Brass during 2026, please do get in touch using the details on our Contact Page on the Band Website or via our Facebook Page. We recommend contacting us as soon as possible. We are already receiving bookings for the Summer and Christmas next year!
Last, but not least, may I express my thanks to all our audiences and supporters whose attendance and applause has continued to encourage us all.
From everyone associated with Phoenix Brass Band, we wish you all a very Happy Christmas and we hope that the new year will bring you health and happiness.
We do hope to see you again in 2026!
Thank you.
David Watson
Musical Director, Phoenix Brass Band
