Today, Epping’s town centre has once again played host to Epping Forest Band’s annual ‘Proms on the Green’ concert. Attendance levels were slightly down on previous years events, but we can only put this down to the heavy rain this morning, coupled with some very gusty winds this afternoon, as you can see from the picture of my friend Kurtis below!As ever, no amount of bad weather would stop a good crowd of Epping residents coming out to support such a fantastic and genuinely talented local organisation play some of the country’s most renowned music, including the National Anthem, ‘Jeruselem‘, ‘Land of Hope and Glory‘, as well as something for the younger generations, like the theme tunes from ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Indiana Jones‘. This year also saw the introduction of a ‘London’ themed medley, which included ‘Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner’.
We thank the members of Epping Forest Band for keeping us entertained year-after-year at the many community events they attend free-of-charge and wish them well in their official visit to our twin-town, Eppingen, next week. For more information about Epping Forest Band, please click here.
