George Gold - London to Kirkbymoorside ride for the new Band Hall After only a thirty year hiatus, I dusted off my trumpet and starting playing for the Community section of the Kirkbymoorside Town Band and I absolutely love it. It's amazing that a town the size of Kirkbymoorside can field the number of players they have.Travelling from North Yorkshire to London to see friends and family and for work over many years has often made me wonder about doing the journey on a bike, though perhaps not on the A1... Helping raise funds to finish the new band room provides an excellent excuse to finally do it. I will set off from King's Cross Station on Saturday 22nd June and will aim to arrive back in Kirkbymoorside the following day. The total distance will be roughly 230 miles and because I’m travelling from south to north, it will be entirely uphill! Well my target was £500 but by the time I reached the band room, the total had reached £1654.00. Well done George and THANK'S. A few more photos - Click here |

Three of the band’s
younger players, Charlie Flintoft, Ella Smailes, both aged 11, and Theo
Flintoft, 10, travelled to London to scale the 02 Arena. |

March and Hymn Contest We thought we played
OK, unfortunately the adjudicator did not agree. Never mind bring on
next year. The marching adjudicator on the other hand, thought we were
great and '1st on the march' was the prize. The training band played
very well too and received a great ovation. Jeanette collecting

The band would like to thank them both for their time and and effort, especially Joe who ran with a bass strapped to his back.

With rain forecast the concert was played inside the marquee and to a nearly full house, the audience, we think, enjoyed the concert. With a varied rogramme including a quartet from four of our youngest players, a visit to the vintage cinema and a solo from our principal cornet player we hope you all enjoyed it..... |

 Jeanette
and her Juniors Beat of the Competition! Saturday
2nd June saw our return to the Easingwold March and Hymn Competition.
Run by the local Lyons for the Yorkshire and Humber Brass Band Association.
The competition saw bands from across Yorkshire competing for prizes including
deportment, best March, and Best Hymn. The Adjudicator John Roberts was
incredibly impressed with the talent on show and the local Youngsters
from the Kirkbymoorside Junior Band really dazzled with their marching,
beating of all the adult competition and winning the deportment prize
for the best marching on the day. |

first such competition for the Junior Band who had to march through torrential
rain to a packed crowd. Jeanette Kendall their conductor was righlty proud
of their achievements: “We have been practicing marching for a few months
now, it is really difficult to play and march in time and in straight
lines and in torrential rain! I couldn’t be prouder of the youngsters,
they played so well and held their nerve” Jeanette herself is the
principal cornet of the Kirkbymoorside Senior Band and won the coveted
“Outstanding Instrumentalist Award” for her virtuoso playing on the cornet.
The senior band took third place overall and look forward to next year
and the challenge of trying to beat our oun junior band, it's going to
be a hard task ......
