Manchester TYMBA Contest
Well done to you all for the performance yesterday - third place - a great result considering how rehearsals have been going lately. I was very impressed with the way in which you approached the day and your general attitude throughout. We received lots of good comments on our performance and a great result in winning the Overall General Musical Effect, so we must have played better than we thought!
Now onto the TYMBA National Finals - 22nd November - but we are going to have to put in some very hard work if we are to stand any chance of winning trophies there - so I need your very best attitude and 100% attendance at every rehearsal. -
Manchester Concert Band Contest
I would just like to say what a great job the thirteen members of the band did when we played at the Concert Band Concert on Saturday (10th October)
Not only did we achieve a Gold Award with Distinction but we played well enough to be declared contest winners.
Another proud day for the band. I am sure that 3rd Davyhulme will continue to run this contest and I am sure that next year our younger members will have improved enough to be able to take a bigger band.
Well done to you all. -
TYMBA Soloist contest 20th Sept 2009
What a great and successful day we have had.
Richard (Euphonium) and James (Flute) both won their sections and Vickie was joint runner up in her section. Amber and Becky both gained third places.
Congratulations to them all and to Helena and Gareth who supported them at the contest.
Maybe we can take more next year. -
Band Training Weekend - 12/13th Sep 09
I would just like to say a massive THANK YOU to all of you for the way in which you approached the hard work over the weekend. Obviously at times you would not have wished to be told "Do it again" - but no moans, no complaints - only hard work. A pleasure to spend time with you over the weekend - what a great bunch of people!!!
Thanks again to Jean and Sue for providing the food and drink to keep us going.
Let's hope the weekend proves its worth when we get to Manchester.
