Ouse Valley Sounds Results
Saturday saw us in competition at the Ouse Valley Sounds in Bedford.
We we're against 3 other units in our division. The day started at 07:15 at the scout hut where we had to load the truck with all our instruments and scenery, before boarding the coach for the the trip up to Bedford.
First of we went to our rehearsal site near the Bedford Athletics Stadium where we spent about an hour working on sections of the show before we had one complete run through before our short trip to the stadium.
Once at the stadium we got changed into our show uniform (superman suits) straight away before we made our way around the stadium ready to enter the field for competition.
After the performance we had a few hours to wait for the awards presentation where we were able to watch the Dagenham Crusaders Alumni.
During the awards presentation we were awarded Best Turnout and Best Field Visual.
We are now looking forward to our next competition on Sunday 20th September at the Midlands Impact competition near Coventry.

Founding Fathers Presentation
On Sunday the Band was presented with a cheque for £500 from the Founding Fathers of the Uckfield Rugby Club.
The Founding Fathers have helped the Band out many times over the years by allowing us to rehearse our competitive displays on their Hempstead Fields site, and this is the second time they have donated to the band
We would like to thank the Founding Fathers for their continued support.

Uckfield Carnival
Saturday saw us take part in the Uckfield Carnival. The day started with a children's procession in the afternoon through the town which finished at Holy Cross School playing field.
Then it was time for the Torchlight Procession in the evening. Visiting societies from across Sussex formed up in Grange Road for the start of the 2009 Sussex Bonfire & Carnival Season.
Starting at 7:30pm the air over Uckfield was soon covered by thick black smoke from the torches as the procession made it's way around town before the Grand Torchlight Procession back through the town finishing at 9:30pm.
Once again the band was proud to support the Uckfield Carnival, something we have been doing since the band's formation in 1986.
