The Wessex Region trombone day 2010 will be on 19 September 2010 and is being arranged in association with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. The venue is a spacious concert hall at Lytchett Minster School, Post Green Lane, Poole, Dorset, BH16 6JD, about five miles west of Poole in the lovely Dorset countryside.

Registration on the day will be from 09:30 for a 10:00 start.

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's principal trombonist Kevin Morgan will take us through a series of warm-ups and massed blows spaced out through the day. This year the music will include some new arrangements with a swing band flavour.  In the afternoon, Robb Tooley, recently appointed to the BSO, will perform Dan Jenkins' Trombone Concerto, accompanied by the St. Aldhelm's Orchestra, conducted by his colleague, Kevin Smith. The day will finish at approximately 16:30.

There will be several trade stands for all to browse and buy from during the day. The Royal Marines have also been invited to provide a stand as they are currently recruiting trombonists. The day is open to both BTS members and non-members, but there is a charge to cover the cost of hall hire as follows:

BTS Members: £10
Non-members: £12
Under 16s and seniors over 60 (members and non-members): £8
