Well what a night the band enjoyed on Saturday 15th May 2010. For others the big event of the day was the annual NW200 road races in Portrush. For the Churchill Flute Band the place of importance was the Waterside Theatre. Attracting a crowd which even the band were surprised by, it is fair to say.

As well as the many friends of the band there, it was a pleasure to have with us a few dignitaries as well. We had the Deputy Mayor, Maurice Devenney present, and also Mary Hamilton from the City Council. The East Londonderry MP, Gregory Campbell also joined us, as did the Speaker of the Assembly, William Hay. As well as our political representatives we had representation from the City of Londonderry Grand Orange Lodge, in the form of the City Grand Master, Victor Wray. Also from the Apprentice Boys, Ronnie McAusland, the Leuitenant Governor.

The Concert itself got off to a roaring start with our compere for the evening, Robert Ramsey, leaving audience and band members alike in fits of laughter. Following his introduction, Wilhelm Zehle's march Wellington opened the night. The band dressed in full concert uniform for the first half of the programme played a selection of marches, and other popular pieces including Bourree, Green Fields Of France, A duet from two very talented young ladies within the band's ranks, the ever popular Highland Cathedral, culminating in a piece from the movies. Trevor Jones' take on Dougie MacLean's 'The Gael' from Last of The Mohicans.

With the band off stage it was now the turn of the B Specials Historical Display Team. Showing rifle drill and how patrols were carried out. Slightly broke up due to an error in the announcement of the interval. Things soon sorted themselves out though.

Following the conclusion of the B Specials, the band took to the stage once more, now in full street uniform. We even had some Spaniards join the band, in the form of the percussion section during, 'Spanish Eyes'. The folk group again took to the stage for the Star Of The County Down and I'll Tell Me Ma, with the help of the audience. Then was the turn of the Drum Corps to shine. Entering from the stairs to the slow march Scipio, they then performed the drum static 'Drum Coliseum' before breaking into Alford's Holyrood. The Band's Director of Music, performed a solo of the Londonderry Air. Music from Les Miserables brought the night to its finale. The playing of Killaloe and the Regimental of the B Specials Londonderry Command, to which the Historical Display Team marched on with an eyes right to the audience.

An encore of the march 1914 again had the audience in song.
The band are extremely greatful to all those that came out to support them on the night and it was nice to see so many friends gathered in the Theatre.

The evening was rounded of with the National Anthem. God Save The Queen.
