Well we now know what it feels like to finish last in a National Competition. NOT GOOD!
However, let's not be downhearted we will just have to work a lot lot harder next year. 100% attendance next Thursday please as we have to rehearse for the concert and the xmas bookings.
The dates that we have booked for the run up to Xmas are now on the Diary Page. These have also been sent out by e.mail. If you haven't received details please let me know
The judges' comments from the Manchester competition are now in the Recordings section for anyone who wants to listen.
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.
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.
