With Polizeiorchester Niedersachsen
On 4. November 2012 the Polizeiorchester Niedersachsen gave a charity concert for the Hannover Sportbund at the NDR/Großer Sendesaal in Hannover. The programme, which included music from Jacques Offenbachs Orpheus in der Unterwelt, Alfred Reeds Armenische Tänze, Yosuke Fukudas Belly Dance, Astor Piazollas Oblivion and Queens Sombody to love, took the audience on a trip "Around the World". This gave Chris Day a chance to change from his usual brass position to the good old rock guitar. Conductor Thomas Boger. Moderation Andreas Läpke. Soloists Udo Motzheim, Tuba and Gregor Busch, Clarinet. Special guest Maricel, Vocals.

Bolero for solo trombone and electronics
On 15th July 2012, Chris Day premiered his own arrangement of Ravel's 'Bolero' for solo trombone and electronics at the Klassik-Festival in Laatzen, Germany. Instead of the proposed open-air concert at the EXPO "Park der Sinne" the promoter had to change the venue to a nearby concert hall as the entire park was waterlogged. On the same program Chris Day also played 'Rondo alla turca' in a new arrangement together with Lithuanian Pianist Gintaras Janusevicius. Video to follow.
