The Senior band along with our B Band are recording a new CD on the 4th/5th November at the Central Methodist Church Brighouse. Along with the bands we have asked Neil Taylor Director of Music at Sheffield Cathedral to join us in a couple of items. He was our guest at our Annual Concert in September which proved popular with our audience so it has been decided to record Neil with the band playing Suite Gothique and March from Scipio. It is hoped that the CDs will be ready for Christmas. |

After promotion in
January to the second section the band competed in the area contest at St
Georges Hall, Bradford on Saturday 5th March. After an early draw of
number 2 the band took to the stage to perform Eric Ball’s Resurgam.
We were all pleased with our performance and hoped we would do well in
the results. We were delighted to learn
that we had been given 6 place out of 12 competitors, a good
result for the first time in a higher section.
Full results Congratulations to South
Yorkshire Police and Barnsley Chronicle Band who have qualified for the finals
in September. |
