Lancashire Royal Artillery Band will perform alongside the music services’ Youth Wind Band in for a special concert.
The Rochdale Music Services’ fanfare team will join with the Royal Artillery’s fanfare team to open with what promises to be a rousing rendition of Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man.
Rochdale Music Service is the only music service in North West with a youth fanfare team and this unique team are delighted to be playing alongside their counterparts in the army.

Councillor Kieran Heakin, cabinet member for children’s services, who is a former member of the Royal Artillery and Territorial Army, said: “It is delightful to see our music service provide a concert like this and with my army background I know it will be a special event.
"The music service delivers fantastic shows throughout the year and to see our young bands performing with such established and revered bands as the Royal Artillery is a great reward for them.”
