The Cory Band is performing in Raleigh NC tomorrow night (Feb 16) We can't wait to hear them! The performance will be in the state of the art Meymandi auditorium, which seats 1800, and last I heard it was nearly sold out.

Cory Band are a Welsh national treasure! We are rightly proud in the UK to have a band like Cory undertaking big tour like this to show our American chums how we do things over here.

Cory Band under Philip Harper are a slick, tight, big sounding ensemble with a superb set of soloists. I doubt anyone going to these concerts will be disappointed...

The teamwork in the tuba section is also a great watch & listen =)

Enjoy!

I sure hope the weather doesn't mess up Cory getting to Raleigh for tonight's performance. My son and grandson are both going and really looking forward to it. Wish I could be there too.

Weird how near the end of the clip there's some footage of the band with some different players and a different conductor! Nice anyway...

A wonderful performance in Raleigh last nite- terrific playing and very entertaining too. The Triangle Brass Band hosted this event and joined the Cory Band onstage for the last couple numbers - that was TBB music director Tony Granados conducting the combined bands in the Empire Strikes Back.
