Rhyl Youth Marching Band

  1. Halesowen 2012

    I've uploaded some photos Sian took of the competition this afternoon, and I'll put the results up as soon as I have a copy to do so. It'd be nice if we could get the video that Nick took uploaded as well.

    Well done everyone for this morning's performance - got to improve for next time though, I don't think Helena much enjoys standing around at the front getting no trophies. :-)

    *Edit:* I've added the results from Sunday now.

    • Presentation looks good, lots of lovely straight lines! Sad to hear no trophies, but joint second is still awesome. Well done everyone! xx

  2. Band 'Winter' Party

    The Band Party will be on Friday 6th January, at Tynewydd Rd Church Hall. Be there for 7pm at the latest! They'll be the usual fun and games all on a Christmas/ winter theme. Prizes for the best Fancy Dressed person and of course the winning team. Keep watching the site for more details or if anyone wants to help (i.e. parents who like to bake/ prepare food etc) then contact me or Jean. Thanx

    • There are more details on the bands face book page and you can click to show your attending. I've nearly got everything sorted for the games. You'll need your brains and a lot of energy. Compete in teams to win snowballs. The team with the most snowballs will be pronounced 2012 party winners. Just a tip about the fancy dress... it will be judged by effort and novelty value. Good luck and see you all there.

    • Christmas/ winter fancy dress theme. It doesn't have to be 'fancy' at all but may be extra points for novelty :-)

    • is it a christmas theme fancy dress or anything??

      Laura 24/12/2011

    • How fancy does my dress have to be?

  3. Website update

    The more observant among you will have noticed that the site looks a bit different. I've finally got round to doing an update - so, what's new?

    You can find the most up to date photos, videos and audio in the sidebar on the right along with the natter that was previously there. Just click anywhere on the natter to add your comment. Also, unmoderated comments have a clickable warning triangle on them so that you can hide anything you think is spam until it gets moderated or deleted.

    Adding your band-related photos and videos is now as simple as getting a Flickr or YouTube account and uploading them. Just let me know your flickr or youtube username.

    There's probably some things that I've missed or am still finishing, so if you find anything that doesn't seem to work properly, let my know through the contact form on this site or come and tell me at band.

    • It is magic

    • ...and down with the rock versions of orchestral music and their unnecessary intrusions into my peace and quiet. :-P

      Gareth 02/12/2011

    • Just click on it. Magic. :-)

      Gareth 02/12/2011

    • How do we add stuff to the band 'natter'?

      Hel 02/12/2011

    • Not the rock version though :-)

      Helena 02/12/2011

    • Oh yeah, I've added the audio for 'Palladio'. You can find it in the 'Audio' stream on the right or on the repertoire page.

  4. REMEMBRANCE DAY PARADE 2011

    Thanks to everyone who travelled to Newton Le Willows today for the Remembrance Day parade for the local Sea Cadets.
    Again they were extremely pleased with the job we did for them and have already booked for next year.
    Thanks again

  5. Manchester Videos

    Nick has uploaded the videos of us playing in Manchester earlier this month to YouTube and I've provided links to them in the Recordings section of the website.
    As previously, older videos have been moved into the recordings archive.
