Rhyl Youth Marching Band

  1. Concert at Prestatyn Methodist Church

    Thanks to everyone who turned out last night (Thurs 21st May) tp play at the fund raising concert for the church.
    Everyone thought it was a godd performance and really enjoyed it even though we did have a very mediocre performance in the first half. But, as I knew you would, you played a lot better in the second half and deserved the applause.
    The church raised about £600.00 from the concert which was divided between Glan Clwyd Cancer Unit and the church funds.
    Well done to you all!!

    • I'll second that. I really thought everyoen worked hard and got on great. I can say I know the routine forwards, but if it's ok with everyone I'd rather not learn it backwards. I just need to get the music as learnt as possible.

      Thankyou everyone for your hard work. Keep it up and we'll be on to a winner.

      Thanks Jeff and Jean for food, organising it and looking after us all for the weekend. Nick, thank you for your time too and all the effort you put in to stand in for missing people. It's going to be great.

      Can I also say, thanks Gaz for lending me your sleeping bag.... cos muppet me forgot mine. Next weekend (13th-14th June hopefully) I promise I'll remember it :-)

    • What a great wekend!
      I am so proud of the way in which you all approached the very hard work you had to do and the long hours we kept you at it. No complaints!! Fantastic.
      Thanks to Jean for again keeping us all fed and watered throughout the weekend. If you enjoyed the food then why not tell her so.
      Helena & Gareth have put together a really, is sometimes alittle complicated show. Thank to them.
      I am pleased to say that I now know it backwards. All I have to do now is learn from the beginning!:) Also thanks to Nick for producing music it's a joy to play.

  4. Band Annual General Meeting - 11th May

    The band held its Annual General Meeting on Monday 11th May 2009. This is when we review the past year, hear what the officers have to say in their reports and see how well off we are financially.
    A little disappointed with the turnout but it's something we seem to have come to expect. The annual awards were presented as follows:
    Musical Director's award went to Michael Peterson.
    The Bandmaster's Awards went jointly to Rebecca, Vickie and James Edge.
    well done all of you!

  5. Mother's Day

    It's Mother's Day next Sunday (22nd March) so, as usual, there will be ***NO*** Beginners' lessons or Junior Band practice. This is so that you can all spend the day being nice to your mother, buying her flowers, and taking her out for the day! This is now reflected in the Band Dates - March PDF file in the documents section.
