Rhyl Youth Marching Band

  1. Contest Practise Day - Sat 13th May 2009

    I would just like to say what a superb lot of people you all are for attending at Llandyrnog today.
    I did not hear one complaint from anyone although you were asked to play and march continuously throughout the day. Thsnks to Jean for again for keeping us supplied with refreshments. I'm sure that all this hard work will pay off.

    • Well done on the practicing. I'm doing the same. Lets hope everyone else is putting the effort in and won't let the band down.

      Just whilst I'm on ..... it's still 3 practices but 11 sleeps till Halesowen :-S

    • i have to agree with helena and jeff, we did do well but there are parts that we still need to practice, for example, the slow marching in chim chiminee, some day my prince will come, and of course the 'L' crossover because my side are not ever in line with helenas side and we end up not being straight. well done to everyone though for trying their hardest on staurday and sunday, i really feel that we can win the competition if we all set our minds on it and try our hardest and put our best foot forward

    • Everyone did work really hard.It was very warm and I'm sure I'm not the only one sporting some interesting red patterns on my skin today :-)

      We've just got to keep it up for the next couple of weeks. I'm feeling so much more confident about competition 1!!!!

      Like Jeff says, everyone has a part to play in learning their music, playing out and marching as best they can.

      Come on Rhyl....

  2. Concert at Prestatyn - Saturday 6th June

    Thanks to all of you for turning out on Saturday to play for the Forum for People with Learning Difficulties.
    We gave a lot of people not so fortunate as ourselves a lot of pleasure and we have already been asked if we will be available to play next year. I have, of course, said we will.

  3. 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.
