As Christmas approached our hardy band members were pleased to be called in to action to help the Poole Old Town Community Group with their Guildhall Carols.
While Poole is not quite Royal David’s City (it does have a population of more than 150,000) it has a rich maritime history that TS Drax is keen to continue embracing.
The Grade 2 listed Guildhall itself has been a centre of the town’s civic activities since 1761, and 261 years later our cadets are happy to maintain such a tradition.
While the impressive building is located close to Poole’s quayside, the band didn’t on this occasion see three ships come sailing in but did contribute jingle bells amongst other instruments as they wished the residents an evening that was merry and bright.
It was a very cold evening, and the cadets did well to keep in tune in darkness whilst cultivating their Rudolph-like red-noses! They received a huge round of applause from the assembled crowd at the event’s conclusion.
Whilst dreaming of a white Christmas the band returned to TS Drax having left Poole Old town where “All is calm, all is bright.”
