Although some of the videos of the Band have cropped up during my previous blogging I thought that it would be a good idea to bring more of them together in a series of posts. Many of them are, of course, available on the Band’s own website but this will allow me to create the record of these memories alongside my other music posts.

Maundy Thursday Music
Most recent years on Maundy Thursday I would have been listening to our Band play this piece of music. Many of the tracks from our Easter CD were featured this time last year (the videos are all available on the Band website) but this track wasn’t included.
Is It Raining
One further share from the video of the Bands visit to Jönköping in 1990. Before sharing a wee story about this one I must credit my younger daughter, Alice, for doing such a good job of getting the video from VHS to mp4 (don’t want to get told off like last week 😉)
The Band Sings
One more clip from the video of the Band’s visit to Jönköping in 1990. I may share another one on here, but the plan is to make the whole video available via the Band’s website (for anyone who is interested) once I have processed it all.
Boscombe in Sweden
Continuing with obscure TV themes from the distant past here is a real “blast from the past” (this is much more difficult to identify than yesterday’s) – Boscombe Band in Sweden in 1990. This has been ‘rescued’ from a VHS tape so the video is a bit patchy in quality – but we do see (much) younger versions of some of the current members of the band and many others that we remember fondly.
A Golden Oldie
A Salvation Army “golden oldie” for this week’s Sunday Choice. – Eric Ball’s “The Pilgrim Way” – first published in 1934. This is a re-arrangement for brass quintet – so probably a version that few of you will have heard before! (and yes, Eric Ball gave his blessing to this arrangement)
The First Carol Of The Day
Happy Christmas to all from the Band.
One That All Know
As I said in the previous post, this year’s Corps Carol Service will be a “virtual” one – you can watch it from 6pm on the Boscombe Corps YouTube Channel.
