If you love brass bands and football you can help Amersham Band get back to playing again.
The band has been busy raising funds for a new bandroom and the work on site is just finishing. Band Chairman, Fred Harrison, said “we have reached the point where we have a wonderful purpose-designed rehearsal facility, but we can’t make use of it until we have completed the final phase of finishing and fitting out the building. Our old facility is too small to provide a COVID-safe environment for the band so we are keen to finish the work as soon as possible so we can get back to making music again”
Amersham Band’s Musical Director, Paul Fisher, had the brilliant idea to raise funds by creating a brass band fantasy football league. It’s just £10 to enter and will be great fun all year long with plenty of prizes to be won as the season progresses. Using the Premier League Fantasy Football App, participants in the league can select their own team of top players and have the chance to try to beat some of Amersham Band’s football fanatics.
50% of the entry fees will be used to award prizes (see prize schedule below) and the remaining 50% will go towards the bandroom fund, helping the band restart their rehearsals and ensuring they are ready to offer lots of young people a fresh start early in 2021.
If you are interested in joining in the fun, then get in touch with the band using the contact-us form to get information on how to join and to make your payment. We will send you instructions and the code to join our private league.
Good Luck!
