The Tacet Team
The Tacet team is a small brass ensemble, drawn mainly from the brass section of the ALO.
Our anchorman is James, on Tuba. Kate and Don are next up the scale on French and Tenor horns, respectively. On trumpets we have Nicky, Ros (who also composes and arranges some of our music) and Chris, our compere and resident comedian!
We are continuing to play in nursing homes under Age Concern's "Entertainment Showtime" project and have been pleased to receive very enthusiastic feedback from many residents and staff. It is wonderful to see people getting involved in our music, and we all really enjoy these evenings.
On Sunday 15th June 2008, the Tacet Team provided musical entertainment at Penton Mewsey village picnic.
The music was a pleasant mix of selections from musicals, marches, nursery rhymes and popular songs.
Towards the end of the afternoon the skies darkened and rain started which enabled the band to strike up with "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" which received great laughter and applause from the audience
