Every year, West Yorkshire Brass 2nd. Tenor Horn player Betty Emberton organises a dinner for band members and their guests at Cleckheaton Golf Club, Bradford.
Our 2023 event was held on Friday 14th April and attendees packed the dining room to feast on an excellent three course menu provided by staff at the club.
Betty – On behalf of all attending WY Brass members and their guests – We thank you!
West Yorkshire Brass is pleased to announce the addition of a new member to the Trombone Section. Joanne Relton (A famous brass band surname but no relation to Bill, I think) joins the band on 2nd. Trombone to sit alongside Max.
Welcome to West Yorkshire Brass, Joanne.
The longer serving members of the band are saddened this week to hear of the passing of the bands inaugural President, Bill Howard. He was a much respected and highly regarded founder member.
RIP Bill.
The West Yorkshire Brass final concert of 2022 at St. Andrew’s Church, Undercliffe, provided takings in excess of £1,200 which were donated to the church.
The concert of popular light and Christmas music, included festive contributions from the various youth organisations based at the church, and ranged from Rocking Around the Christmas Tree to Lord of the Dance, Good King Wenceslas to My Fair Lady and Let it Snow to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was applauded at length by a packed audience which left no seat unoccupied.
By coincidence, our next concert is at the same venue in May of 2023, when the band will showcase a whole new program of music for our summer season. So, here’s to the next four months of intense rehearsals! And, we hope, yet another packed house!!!
