St. Stephen's Church, Tonbridge
Our most ambitious concert to date at St Stephen's Church, Tonbridge on 6th December 2008.

Bacchus felt that this concert confirmed our aims in performance and advertisment of the modern wind band repertoire. The audience perceived the enjoyment the band has in performing this class of music, and the challenges we faced were, we thought, well met. Raising significant monies for the St Stephen's "Shaping Up" project was an added bonus for both parties.
Thanks go to Brittens Music, Tunbridge Wells for helping us sell tickets.

A special vote of thanks goes to Judd School, for the loan of equipment and eight of their young performers - this concert was a celebration of 20 years of music from Bacchus Wind Band and the future of Bacchus. Finally, thanks to St Stephen's Church for all the organisation and help from the whole church community.
