Every piece of music selectes by Tudhoe Grange School Concert Band on each of their professional recordings has had significance to the members of the band, There are two special tracks on this, our fifth recording, which are particularly symbolic to those associated with the decelopment of both the Concert and the Big Band.

This has proved to the a watershed in the development of our school band and the two tracks of music which best reflect this are 'Fully Loaded' and 'Where do we go from here?' as each piece of music marks a particular moment in the history of the band.

In November 1996 Tudhoe Grange School Concert Band was awarded a grant of £49,305 suported by the National Lottery through the Arts Council of England. This grant has seen our band 'Fully Loaded' with professional instruments of which any musician could be proud and Ray Chester's composition 'Fully Loaded' was specially commissioned by the band to mark this key event in our history.
