Hitchin Hitting The Right Note
BY CDT SGT SAMUEL JAMES
---------------------------------
Cadets from 1066 (Hitchin) Squadron have recently enjoyed the sweet sound of success resulting from their first-ever concert, ‘An Evening Of Music’, held at the Town Hall, Hitchin. Guests of honour included Squadron President, AVM Alan Merriman and Herts & Bucks WSO, Sqn Ldr Paul Mimpress.
The beginning of the evenin
g, opened with a spectacular performance from the 1066 Corps of Drums playing in the dark with glow-sticks! The audience then enjoyed further performances with Cdt Ben Irwin playing a medley of tunes on the bell-lyre and a solo piano piece. Cdt Holly Somerville also played a beautiful, moving piano solo too. Cdt Charlotte Hunt followed with a delightful flute piece. Next, it was the brass and woodwind section’s time to shine. Composed of Flt Sgt Christopher Moore, Cpl Michael Page, Cdt Gary Pestell and Cdt Charlotte Hunt, the four performed another wonderful piece of music to the lucky spectators.
Following the interval, guests then enjoyed a fanfare piece from the brass and woodwind section followed by guitar and vocal solo performances from Sgts Samuel James and Lewis Stockwell. To round the evening off on a high note, the Marching Band of 1066 (Hitchin) Squadron played their current running order of tunes to the audience.
The squadron was fortunate enough to receive some wonderful gifts for the raffle that evening, donated from various local companies, friends and families of the squadron. Particular mention goes to the squadron’s civilian committee for their support during the evening, members of the Priory School, Hitchin who helped with the PA system and lighting and parents who assisted setting up the hall before the performance. The last mention to go to Sergeant Lewis Stockwell, who organised the event itself and the success of the concert is evidence of his and his fellow cadets’ hard work and dedication. The squadron raised approximately £1000 from the evening.
