Stape Silver Band would like to thank all residents of Pickering for their donations on our carol playing during December. Unfortunately due to the weather the band was unable to get out on our usual number of nights but we were well received on the nights that we did manage to fill the streets with the sound of carols. Our annual Christmas concert held at Pickering Church was well attended and we thank everyone for their support and donations which, as always, goes to Yorkshire Cancer Research. The band is now starting its preparation for the North of England Area Contest held at Darlington on the 21st of March. The band will be competing against 4th section bands from within the North East in an effort to secure a place at the National Finals in September. Stape Silver Band has a thriving junior section and we are always happy to hear from people who wish to learn or indeed have played before and would like to return to it. We practice in our own purpose built band room on Tuesdays and Thursdays with our learners section operating on Mondays. For learners we will provide a good quality instrument free of charge and individual tuition weekly for an annual fee of £25. If you would like to know more please contact the band by email: stapesilverband@btinternet.com Tanya Rex, Stape Silver Band Chairman. |
