Backing of the public just great

 I would like extend our most sincere thanks to the general public who have supported us over the Christmas period. We are currently working very hard to raise the funds needed to attend the Wind Band Festival at The Carnegie Hall, New York in March 2007. This is a prestigious event and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The event is attended by bands from around the world so we feel very fortunate to be representing not only our school and local area but also our country.

We have been able to raise funds at various venues around Telford during the festive season, all of which have helped us to get that bit closer to our target. We are truly indebted to the general public for their support and goodwill.
