The band played Broxburn Gala Day on Saturday. With the cancellation of one other event next month, we've now completed our programme of events for the summer - five in all. And with that, we're now done until our two Christmas events.
As mentioned before, this has been a fairly light, but fairly enjoyable, gala day season. Next year I would expect to see a few more events occurring, although it does look like some are now cancelled forever.
One thing that was particularly pleasing to see on Saturday was that the band is clearly better than it was back when we started the season - as I mentioned, Mid Calder wasn't the disaster that I feared it might have been, but even so the improvement was quite significant. And given that I've been essentially running the band for much of the past couple of months (due to a variety of reasons), I'm claiming a lot of credit for that. The band may well hate me for all the hard work we've put in, but we've definitely seen the benefit.
The challenge now, of course, is to build from this foundation so that we start next season at the same place we finished up this year. A task which starts on Thursday at practice...
