Band History: the new MillenniumThe turn of the century has seen great success for the band. In October 2000 the Band played at the National Finals and achieved a very creditable 7th place in the First Section. This was after winning the Area Championships and being promoted to the Championship Section under the musical direction of John Berryman. At the same time the Band reorganised its structure to widen the opportunities available. In addition to the Main Band there was now the Concert Brass under the musical direction of Uwe Radok and a Training Band with Liz Schofield in control. This led to a significant increase in the number of playing members. After a successful year with the Concert Brass Uwe left and his place was been taken by Kevin Nicholls. |
