Rhyl Youth Marching Band

  1. DUCK RACE - DYSERTH

    Thanks to all those who turned out today (August Bank Holiday Sunday) to play for the Prestatyn & Rhyl Lions fund raiser - The Duck Races at Dyserth Waterfalls.
    We had to play for a very long time during the afternoon and I was very pleased at the way you all held up and continued to play to the very end.
    A Gentleman, Mr Hogg, gave us a cheque as a donation to the band because he thinks we are a good young band with a very nice sound. This is the second year running that Mr Hogg has made such a donation. Is there anyone of you who would like to write to Mr Hogg a letter of thanks for the donation. I did it last year but it might be a little more pleasing if it came from one of our young members.
    Thanks again for turning out today

  2. GRONANT STREET FETE

    Thanks to the 12 members who turned out today (7th Aug)to play at the Gronant Street Fete.
    A somewhat unusual venue for us to play at but I know that one or two people did listen to us and I received a couple of nice thank you's.
    Thanks again

  3. PRESTATYN CARNIVAL

    Thanks to all who turned out today for the Prestatyn Carnival.
    Although we sadly missed more cornet power I feel we gave another good account of ourselves and hope that we may have inspired a youngster or two to come and find us to join.
    Sorry about the one or two spots of rain but I feel we look better without coats.
    Thanks again.

    • It would have been tooo hot with coats on. The rain was fine as it wasn't cold. I have learnt to wear a T-shirt under my shirt though just in case it does rain

  4. Coronation Gardens

    Thanks to all those who turned out yestaerday (Sunday 18th July)to play at the Coronation gardens for the "Rhyl South West Residents Association" open day. It would appear that our performances were enjoyed by the public there but the main bonus is that we may have attracted three new recruits to the band.

  5. Rhyl Carnival Procession -

    Thanks to all of you for turning out yesterday for the Rhylk Carnival. I was a bit disappointed that we were not leading but I think we gave a good performance for the spectators. I was very pleased that we seem to have now got rid of the calling for the changes of music etc - a lot more professional - so we will keep this method for all other parades.

    • I agree. I think we played well despite the wind. Obviously our round the houses practices are having an effect :-)

      Well done everyone. I like the not calling out of the next tunes. It does seem more professional and also for me is far less anxiety provoking cos you know what your playing next.
