Alderley District Scout Band celebrates 50th anniversary

Alderley District Scout Band celebrated their 50th anniversary in style at this weekend's Party on the Carrs in Wilmslow.

Wilmslow Town Council, who organised and funded the event, were delighted to be able to join forces with Alderley District Scout Band on this special occasion.

Alderley District Scout band and visiting scout bands performed throughout the afternoon in the parade ring and the event came to a fitting finale as past and present members of Alderley District Scout Band assembled and performed together.

Back in April, Alderley District Scout Band invited past members of the band to join them and put something special together to celebrate their 50th anniversary. A 39 strong reunion band was put together, consisting of current competition band members, past members and trainees. They practised over six hours a week for the special day and Sunday was the culmination of all the hard work.

Steve French, of Alderley District Scout Band, said "The day could not have gone better, the weather was good, and the people were there to watch us perform. We also had performances by Rhyl Youth Marching Band and 3rd Davyhulme Scout and Guide Band, who had come along to suuport us, and help us celebrate.

"We would like to thank everyone who made our 50th celebrations an overwhelming success."
