We are in the final week before the band's concert at Oaklands Catholic School, Waterlooville this coming Saturday ( 26th April- please please come and support us. We need a massive audience for this event as there are 500 seats to fill - and because it will be a fantastic occasion to mark the 80th anniversary of VE-day!! We also need a huge audience as we need to get people to feel that Oaklands Catholic School is a superb performance space for future concerts. That's because Emsworth Concert Band needs to find a new home now that we can't use Emsworth Baptist Church on Saturday evenings if we want to use the 'stage' configuration.

The church are only happy if we stay off their stage so it does not interfere with their equipment set up for their Sunday morning service. For that reason, we've taken the decision to make it work at Oaklands Catholic School - where Havant Orchestra perform most of their concerts.
