Carlton Brass Band Leading Whit Walk 2019
Monday 27th May
In an age when it is very difficult to hire Brass Bands we are
delighted that the Nottingham based Carlton Brass will lead our
Procession. Carlton Brass is a high-flying band, now in the 1st
Section National Grading and it is with great anticipation that we
look forward to welcoming them.
We are always pleased to welcome back our old friends from
Ashover Brass Band who have served us so well for ten years now.
While they are no longer a marching band they will be playing on a
certain section of the route (details later) and after The Procession
they will entertain people going into Rose Hill URC for tea or
coffee.
The Procession’s own Worship Band will again provide the music
for the singing at The Town Hall and thanks are due to Phil Cornell
and Helen Schofield for their organisation. There are five
hymns/songs altogether two of which were chosen by those
present at the Launch Night, completing a great mix of the new
and the tried and tested. You can look forward to a good sing
before we set off and when we arrive back at The Town Hall .
This year’s hymns/songs are: ‘To God be the glory’, ‘The Servant
King’, ’10,000 Reasons’ , ‘The Splendour of the King’ and a new
song to a familiar tune - ‘ O Father you created us’ - written
especially for The Procession by our current President: James
Dickinson. Get practising !
Two final pieces of this musical jigsaw are still needed. First piece:
we are trying to get a Salvation Army Band to join us on The
Procession. Second piece: to complete the musical side of our act
of witness, it would be good to have a live band who can play
modern worship songs en route round the town and a flat back
truck to place them in. If anyone out there can help, please get in
touch at cechesterfield@gmail.com
