Rhyl Youth Marching Band

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Competitions 2009

    As you know some people came from TYMBA to listen to us play and see us march on Thursday. They decided that we should be in the Championship Class (that's the class above the one we took part in last year). To me this shows how well we can play and march when we put our minds to it. It also means that to compete this year we need a longer routine and we will have to put in more practice at marching and drilling if we are to make ourselves proud. Please check the 'Diary Dates' for the dates of the competitions. We will shortly be giving out rehersal schedules which will include weekends away and some all day practices. We also need to raise lots of money to pay for coaches etc. Please see Jean (Fundraising Lady) if you have any suggestions.

    • It'll be difficult to win stuff in the Championship class, but it'll mean more if we do. We just need to practise, practise, practise. :-)

  4. TRY

    Thank you to those that helped with the TRY morning today. Thank you Jeff for your hard work which helped make it such a success. All the very talented young people that took part seemed to have a good time. Lets hope that some of them decide to join the band. We'll be very happy to welcome them I'm sure.

    • I am so glad that the organiser of the Bodelwyddan Castle event thought that you were good enough to play on the day. (Was there ever any doubt?!!) My friend said that you were the best part of the day and I thought that you were brilliant. Have you thought of doing Britain's Got Talent?
      I think it is great that people such as yourselves have the commitment and dedication that it takes to be able to entertain an audience in such a way - and the organisers do their fair bit too!
      Well done to you all and thank you so much for a lovely afternoon's music.
