Last evening we tried to hold a contest routine rehearsal with 12 members of the contest band. I know people are away on holiday until various dates in August but come September I will be organising a weekend away and contest routine rehearsals will be on Thursdays. I will expect 100% attendance at these sessions unless give me a very good reason for not being there.
If you want to do well at Manchester and the Tymba National Finals then you have to give commitment.
Thanks to all those who turned out on Sunday to play at the Rhyl South West Central Residents' Association Open Day at the Botanical Gardens.
I'm sure that our playing was appreciated by all there.
Thanks to all who turned out today for the procession along the prom, long but worth it. You all looked very smart without black coats. I think the crowds appreciated your playing as we recived some applause along the way.
Well done.
Thanks to all those who turned out today to play at the Coronation Gardens, I received some good comments on the way we played and Uncle Nick didn't seem too disappointed with the performance. It could be that last Thursday's fiasco of a rehearsal was just a blip, but perhaps we will reserve judgement on that for a while.
What a day!!!!
No one can imagine how proud and overjoyed I was standing in the middle of you lot yesterday as the awards were being announced. I always feel priviledged when we go out as a band as the Bandmaster - I feel proud every time!!
But yesterday - WOW!!!!!!!!
You certainly did the business - it looks like I'll have to get a bigger uniform as my chest is so pushed out with pride.
Thank you all for your tremendous efforts over the past few weeks and here's to Rubery next week. Don't think we will have the same result but if we put in the same effort on the day - who knows?
