Its been a year of change at Dobcross Silver and for 2012 we have welcomed four more new players bringing the Band almost to full strength for the Contest season ahead!
Our recent recruits are:
Ken Smith Soprano Cornet
Paul Towle Solo Cornet
Mike Brooks Second Horn
Tom Welling Bass Trombone
A warm welcome to all the new faces who had a grand baptism recently at the Catenians ‘Beer and Brass’ event on a snowy Altrincham night! Once again a superb event and thankfully everyone arrived and returned safe and sound!
This followed another successful ‘Viennese’ concert at Shaw Playhouse 2 and now its down to the serious work of Test Piece practice for the 2nd Section Contests ahead!
We would like to remind you that we will be running the Test Piece, ‘Cross Patonce’, at two upcoming Open Rehearsals on the run up to Blackpool.
Sunday 19th February – Boarshurst Band Club, 7:30pm
Thursday 23rd February – Dobcross Band Club, 8:00pm
MD Kenny Pain continues to work tremendously hard with the new team which includes some very talented players and we are all looking forward to the year ahead!
There’s plenty of smiles around the Silver Band once again and its a great place to be!
Andy Black
Chairman & Treasurer
