After three successful years with the band including North West Area 3rd Section Champions, a ticket to the Nationals and great results throughout the years in all contests, Dobcross would like to wish all the best to Grenville Moore as he puts lip to mouthpiece once again.
We are now pleased to announce that the conducting vacancy has been filled by Kenny Pain. Kenny, former player of the Band of the Coldstream Guards and more recently Soprano Cornet at United Co-op Milnrow, says:
“The opportunity to conduct Dobcross is huge for me and I am thoroughly looking forward to working with the band, continuing the good work that Grenville has done over the years.”
Since Kenny’s appointment two weeks ago, there has been a staggering ten players that have signed up to the band. We would like to welcome the following members:
- Richard Sutcliffe – Solo Horn
- Kara Sutcliffe – 1st Horn
- Jake Gordon – Principal Euphonium
- Bradley Barnes – 2nd Euphonium
- Keelan Sutcliffe – Percussion
- Steph Coward – Assistant Principal Cornet
- Alice Thompson – Solo Cornet
- Hollie Sutcliffe – 3rd Cornet
- Janet – 2nd Cornet
- Elliot Waters- 2nd Cornet
With a full band once again, the Band is now looking forward to the Durham Miners Gala tomorrow (9/7/11), where we have been given the rare honor of playing in the Cathedral for the third time in five years.
Future Events include a Concert at the Uppermill Conservative Club next Sunday (17/7/11), Bolsover Entertainments Contest (11/9/11) and also a Night of Film Music at Shaw Playhouse (17/9/11). We hope to see you there!
