Fireworks with the 1812 Overture

During the 1990s the band played several summer concerts at Swanley park. We were perched out on the lake and played a normal programme while the picnics got underway. As the night closed in we finished off in true proms style with a spectacular Firework finale. The trick of getting the Fireworks to go off at the right point in the 1812 Overture never quite worked and usually resulted in plenty of surprised band members as the bangs started a few bars early!
