… 2/2 We are also delighted to congratulate our principal Eb Bass player, Bob Williams, as he celebrates 60 years in banding. He was awarded his GBBA recognition certificate in our recent concert - congratulations, Bob!
1/2 We have been incredibly fortunate to have ‘star percussionist’, Darcy Beck, in our band for 5 years & we formally thanked her with a little presentation in recognition of her contribution to the band as we wish her all the very best as she moves to join @Coryband (contd…)
4/4 Sadly our area result wasn’t what we hoped for but we were proud of our performance & would like to say a special thanks to Dave Barringer, who pushed & encouraged us to be the best we can. Congratulations to the prize winners; we now turn to Spring Festival preparations! 🎶
1/4 What a milestone to recognise for our trombone player, Steve Schramm, whose performance last weekend marked a 40 year association with Lydbrook Band. Sadly, Steve has decided to retire from competitive banding and he will be greatly missed by the entire Lydbrook family.
3/4 We would like to thank Steve for his commitment & contributions over the years as a truly fantastic trombone player & a simply wonderful human being. We are sure that his formal ‘retirement’ won’t be a complete end & we hope to see him with us from time to time in the future.
Come and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lydbrook Club! The band has played here so many times over the years and we are delighted to mark the occasion by performing for our local community at the Club. #lydbrook#brassband #50 @FoDDC@RossonWyeTA
