If you didn`t get chance to see our three Christmas
Elves, here they are
After a very successful Christmas Carol Concert at The Grand Theatre in Blackpool, the band is now working towards the North west Area Regional Qualifiers i March 2010.
Useful Information
The band was promoted into
the 1st Section Nationally in 2003 and then the
Championship Section with effect from
1st January 2009. Generally we try to
compete in five major competitions each year including
the North-West Regional Qualifiers (presently held at
the Winter Gardens, Blackpool). We also attend our local
competition in Fleetwood and as many others as possible.
In 2007, the band qualified for the National Finals in
the 1st Section representing the North West and came a
very creditable 3rd in the finals held at Harrogate,
Yorkshire on Saturday 29th September 2007. In early
2008, the band found itself being promoted to the
National Brass Band Championship Section early in 2008
after a very successful set of competition results at
national level over the past 3 years.
All
bookings for the band should be made through the
Secretary.
Fees charged are to be discussed with the
Secretary - we will take into account the type
of function that we are being booked for as well as how
long the engagement will last and how far we have to
travel.
Rehearsals:
Main band rehearsals are currently held on Tuesdays & Fridays from 8.00pm-10.00pm at the Band Headquarters, Station Road, Poulton-le-Fylde with the Junior Band rehearsing each Wednesday evening 6.30-7.30pm (term-time only). All members are expected to attend and if a member of the band is unable to attend they are expected to phone the Secretary in advance. We would ask that anyone wishing to come to the band `for a blow` contact the Secretary to make suitable arrangements. We always encourage players at a loose end to come & join us at rehearsals. We are proud of the way that we treat players and all young players are especially welcomed and looked after.
