The New Year always means the start of preparations for the Regional Contest in March. This year a few changes have had to be made due to our Principal Cornet player 'Greg Morgan' having to move away due to work commitments. As players leave another one turns up!! In our case this year we have been very fortunate that father Christmas brought more than one. Claude Lamon has joined the Front Row - Mike Boother has moved up to the Principals chair and Marian Quick has joined them to make a strong team.
The Euph section has had the biggest change, Rachel Richards has rejoined the band as Principal Euph to allow former principal Cary Brock to take over on 1st Baritone. Nicola Richards has rejoined her in the section on 2nd Euph which has also allowed Tom Boother to take up the position of Solo Trombone. Andy Folland moves to 2nd Trombone and Jade Morris has taken up the Rep seat.
We wish all our new members a happy stay with the Band.
The only seats now vacant are 4th Man down on the front row and a 2nd cornet seat - please see the Vacancies page if you are interested in coming along.
Our professional MD Mr David Hayward is not available for this years Regionals, the Band have been very fortunate to secure the services of Mr Brian Minear. Brian is a excellent conductor and trainer with proven Contest record, having taken St Dennis from the 4th Section all the way to the Champiobship section....winning many National Finals contest along the way. The Band are looking forward to working with him.
