Following the success of our ‘starter’ and ‘progression’ band children at our Christmas Concert 2016, we have now formed the new ‘Grange Moor Youth Training Band’. There are 23 players in this group and they play the full range of brass band instruments. Their first performance as the Youth Training Band will be on April 9th in the full Grange Moor Brass Band Spring Concert in St Bartholomew’s Church at 3pm, A small group from the Youth Training Band band is playing at the Mothering Sunday Service at St Bartholomew’s Church on March 26th.
The Youth Training Band is led by Val Hope assisted by 4 members of the main band: Jose Smales, Lynda Auty, Steve Langford and Maura Ward.
The times and arrangements for Wednesday evenings have therefore changed:
- 5:30 – 6:10: Individual tuition
- 6:15 – 7:30: Youth Training Band
The group that played from 7:30 – 8:15 has been suspended for the time being.
