THE sounds of brass filled the Salvation Army Hall on Sunday November 26 as Vectis Brass entertained an enthusiastic crowd.
The band, which is celebrating its 70th birthday this year, kicked off the afternoon in style with Leroy Anderson's Christmas Festival.
A selection of festive music followed, including two solos - Witcheta Lineman played on horn by Glynnis Marsh and Frosty the Snowman played on bass trombone by Colin Reeves.
Other music included the overture Lustspiel, and Shepherds Song, which featured principal cornet Sarah Wilson.
Musical Director Jay Taylor said "It was our pleasure to support friends at the Salvation Army at Christmas time. We are proud to donate the proceeds from the concert to the Isle of Wight Salvation Army's homeless fund".
Vectis Brass will perform a community concert at All Saints Church, Ryde on Sunday December 10 at 3pm.
