The band played during the half time interval of the match against Newcastle Falcons at Franklin Gardens. It followed the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant by the Aviva Premiership rugby union team Northampton Saints.
The band, now 48 members strong and under the direction of Band Mistress and Head of Brass, Adele Hudson, Band Captain Juliette Carmichael (17), and Drum Major James Gaby (17), performed a short marching display before halting in the centre of the pitch to play a special arrangement of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In’ much to the 13,000 strong home crowds delight.
