Keith and District Silver Band have experienced one of their
busiest years in recent times. Despite the inclement weather the
Band fulfilled 13 engagements in the run up to Christmas
including the Huntly Rotary Christmas Festival and the Keith
Rotary Carol Concert. Other commitments took the Band to
Dufftown, Lossiemouth, Buckie and Strathdon.
Having successfully negotiated the festive season the players
are looking forward to competing in the Brass Band section at
the Moray Music festival and already have bookings throughout
2010. With 24 players, the Band is led by Willie Barron who has
conducted for 29 years (with a short break where he moved to the
Bass line and the group was led by Glenn Munroe). During this
time the Band has experienced highs and lows but a consistent
core of players has maintained a standard that is supplemented
by members from a wide area and of all ages. The repertoire is
varied from pop to classics taking in classic brass band and
film tunes on the way.
Currently the Band is looking to supplement the pool of players
from the local community and various positions are vacant,
including BBb Bass, Baritone, tuned and kit percussion and
Cornets. However, there is always room for players on any brass
band instrument whether they be novice or expert. All are made
welcome by this friendly and enthusiastic group. Band
instruments are available for those who do not possess their
own. Rehearsals are held in the Longmore Hall Keith, every
Sunday evening from 6.30 to 8.30pm. Interested potential players
can contact either Willie Barron (Tel 01542 887576 or email him
at
bill.barron.ts@btinternet.com ) or Wendy Jones (01542 887529
or
wendy2266@btinternet.com). |
