We had a great banding weekend at the National Finals in Harrogate on 26 & 27 Sept. Long service banding awards were presented to Bob Eastwood for 30 years and Rob Moorhouse for 20 years. The Band put in a good performance and although we were disappointed with the adjudication, we are quite satisfied to be 14th best First Section band in the country.

February 27th is the long awaited senior band Christmas Party, for the first time we will be having it at the band room and will be entertained by a live band!! Woohoo…

Please check engagements and contests for all musical matters!

The senior band are currently rehearsing for the Yorkshire Area contest and Preston Contest. The band will be playing A Moorside Suite By Holst at both contests. Preston is Sunday 7th Feb 2010, Area contest (Bradford) Saturday March 6th 2010.

Further ahead our three bands will all be playing at Holmfirth contest in April, this will be the first contest ever for our training band!!

Choir will be attending the Holmffirth Music Festival once again in October 2010 following last years superb 2nd place!

We are currently looking for experienced cornet players, a baritone and a solo trombone player. All to start after the Yorkshire Area contest in March. Contact Simon in complete confidence.

As with all organisations many people make it run smoothly. Genorosity from Edgar Dickinson MBE and Mr and Mrs Phillip Wright have catapulted the band forward with its fantastic new bandroom. Our commitee keep everything in place Whilst Heather Wood and Pat Wood keep our Youth Ensembles in order.

Peter and Heather Badham have offered years and years of devotion to the band, a very big thankyou to them.

Thanks to Gary for this brilliant website!!
