Fun Fact of the Day!
Friday 5th March 2021
Yesterday was actually ‘Marching Band Day, but it coincided with
World Book Day, so we are celebrating it today instead!
Marching Band Day is a day that has been designed to build awareness around the marching arts. It is all about those cheerful and upbeat bands, which happen to move around while they are playing music. You will often find that marching bands play an important role in a lot of festivals, parades, and outdoor events. Not only this, but they are traditional, having first appeared in the 1800s. Therefore, it is only right that we celebrate this incredible form of music and entertainment with Marching Band Day. Marching bands also play a critical role in terms of keeping the military upbeat. They have long been involved in the roots of the military, and they have evolved as time has gone on. Marching music can thrill the military during times of celebration or moments of upliftment.
You can see how the Queen’s official Birthday is celebrated in June each year, by watching the ‘Trooping the Colour’ 2019, which was the last time it was allowed to happen, due the current Pandemic. I hope Oscar S and Isla-Honey enjoy this, as this is what their Daddies do.
MRS HENDERSON AND I ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL ON MONDAY xx
