The Kippax Band (MD- Jim Davies) wish to recruit a quality 2nd baritone player. Based near Leeds in West Yorkshire the Band has close access to the M1/M62 and A1. The band are currently in the First section within the Yorkshire area

If you are interested please apply in confidence to Colin Moss (Band Chairman- 01977 709901 or Keith Fairburn ( Band Secretary)- 0113 2863699. Alternatively please visit the Band's website at- www.kippaxband.co.uk

[iancwilx]

Due to work commitments Kippax Band (East Leeds, Nr M1/M62?A1 Link) would like to hear from an experienced back row Cornet player/ possible 4th man, and a BBb Bass player to join our happy team under our charismatic MD Jim Davies.
For further info visit www.kippaxband.co.uk and/or ring our Secretary, Keith Fairburn on 0113 286 3699

[iancwilx]

Kippax Band require an enthusiastic and talented BBb Bass player to join our happy, irreverent back line - you know, just in front of those people who bang and hit things !!
Go to www.kippaxband.co.uk for info and Contact details.

[andyfake]

Happily, the flugel chair is now filled, but we still need a 2nd Horn, Solo or 2nd Euph (depending on ability!) and that all elusive BBb Bass!
In addition, there is usually a spare seat on the front line, which might suit a student during term time, as we have a student who fills it when he's home (if you see what I mean!).
Check out the website http://www.kippaxband.co.uk (http://www.kippaxband.co.uk/) or get in touch via PM or email.
The band is currently in the Yorkshire Area 1st section, though will step down to 2nd next year as a legacy of poor results a couple of year's ago. Hopefully the current momentum should bring us back up pretty quickly!

[splitcommon]

Hi,


Could you tell me a little more about the Band please

Section/rehearsal nights/ why position is vacant / where you are etc

I would possibly be interested in the Euph position

[andyfake]

Hello!

The Euph position has come up simply because the 2nd Euph has volunteered to fill a vacancy on 2nd baritone. So we are looking for someone to either replace him directly, or to sit on the end if of a suitable standard - the solo Euph is the band chairman and has said he would move down a chair if it enhanced the band.
We rehearse Mondays and Thursdays, about 10 miles east of Leeds, not far from the A1/M1 junction. Have a look at the band website www.kippaxband.co.uk (http://www.kippaxband.co.uk) for more info on our activities, but basically we have a reasonable concert schedule and are working towards Pontins (1st section) and then Butlins and Area (2nd section). Obviously the aim is to bounce back to the 1st as quickly as possible and this is looking promising at the moment, with the band building up nicely.
Happily, there's been a fair bit of interest in the Euph position, so if you fancy coming for a "blow" to see what you think, please get back to me and we'll get something arranged. Solo Euph is away next week, but you could still come down then if you wanted.

Cheers

Andy

[andyfake]

BBb Bass and Percussion Positions available

:clap:

Thanks to everyone who responded to our recent ads - we have now filled all positions with the exception of 2nd horn (and hopefully we have a player "in the pipeline" for that seat).

We do, however, wish to still invite applications for BBb bass, as one of our players sometimes struggles with work and would prefer to become "5th bass" if possible.

We are also seeking another percussionist, mainly kit but the more versatile the better, to allow our current kit player to get the experience he wants on the tuned side of things.

The band is really picking up at the moment, looking to make an impression at Pontins and a big impression at the area, where the legacy of results a couple of years ago means we have to step down to Section 2, hopefully for a very short stay!

We rehearse Monday and Thursday, so if you fancy being part of a friendly and very positive atmosphere, please get in touch by PM or email. All enquiries in strictest confidence, of course.

[andyfake]

Butilins 2nd Section Champions :) The Kippax Band have an opening for an Eb and/or BBb Bass for the Area (if you're quick!) and beyond.
Although we currently have a full band, a couple of our players have major work commitments and have offered to step into the "spare" role if replacements of suitable quality and commitment can be found.
If interested, please PM me or contact us through the website (http://www.kippaxband.co.uk). All in strictest confidence, of course.

[andyfake]

Due to family commitments, we will be seeking a new member of the cornet team from March onwards. With the current section working so well together, there is a reluctance to "re-shuffle" and so we are advertising specifically for this important solo position. This would suit an ambitious and committed player, preferably with experience on the front line. "Stand-up" solo opportunities are available if desired!
We are the current Pontins 2nd Section Champions and recently won the North East Midlands BBA Championship. 1st & 2nd in the last two years at Skegness (Butlins). Looking for a good result at the Areas to push us back towards the 1st Section.
The band practices Mondays and Thursdays and is easily accessible from the A1/M1/M62. Very sociable and stable team - fortunately we don't get many vacancies like this, so grab it while you can!
Please PM me if you'd like to come for a blow, or go through the contacts on the band website (http://www.kippaxband.co.uk/toppage1.htm). All contact in confidence of course.

[andyfake]

Sorry to "bump" this, but I really ought to point out that there's now the small matter of a trip to the finals to consider as well!!:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[andyfake]

Required:

Full time, First class percussionist to lead the section into the National Finals and beyond. We have some excellent back-up players, but want someone there every rehearsal.
Less experienced percussionists are also welcome to apply to join and develop in this very flexible team - commitment is the primary qualification.

Rehearsals 8pm Mon & Thu, easy access from A1/M1/M62, good atmosphere and social club. To join the highest ranked (according to 4br!) 2nd Section band in England, please apply in confidence to the Chairman: Colin Moss 01977 709901, colinmoss@talktalk.net (colinmoss@talktalk.net)

Edit: Threads merged as per tMP recruitment policy, PB, Mod

[andyfake]

Despite all his efforts, Dave has finally given up on being able to cling on to the Repiano seat, due to both family and increased work commitments.
We are therefore re-advertising this important position, in the hope of getting a good replacement before the National Finals in September.
This is a key solo position in the band and would suit a competent, ambitious player (plenty of "stand-up" work available if you want it!).

[flugelman]

Can I just say as the departing player I recommend this band highly. Not only are they friendly and a cracking laugh but they are also hugely ambitious (just look at their contest results for the last 12months). So come on get your finger out and drop Colin Moss an email. colinmoss@talktalk.net

The only down side is that you have to sit next to AndyFake. This is generally ok unless Sue has given him Mustard with his tea!

A big thanks to Brian Butler, who has stepped into the Flugel seat for the finals (at least?!). The rep position is still available and, although we have one or two irons in the fire to cover it for Harrogate, we would much rather welcome a permanent player, so get in touch!
We are also still keen to recruit some good long-term percussion.
Finally, the position of Musical Director is now formally advertised - see separate post below.

[andyfake]

Musical Director

The Kippax Band wishes to invite applications for the position of Musical Director. The band is currently preparing for the National Finals (2nd Section), under the baton of Alan Morrison, and would like to have a new permanent conductor in position ready to defend its Pontin's title in November.
The band has tasted renewed success in the contesting field recently and also carries out a good range of concert engagements. The new MD will require experience and enthusiasm in both these areas as the band continues to strive to improve its position. The band enjoys an excellent, friendly atmosphere and owns its own social club, in which 4-5 concerts per year are performed.
To apply, please forward your CV to the secretary as detailed below. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.

Keith Fairburn
Secretary, The Kippax Band
3 The Square
Kippax
LEEDS
LS25 7NL

[andyfake]

Thanks to all those who have responded to the MD vacancy above. As has been explained to the applicants, our commitments up to Harrogate mean that the selection process is likely to take a bit longer than usual.
Therefore, if anyone else is interested, you still have time to respond but please be aware that we will start discussing applications in the next week or so, even though the actual appointment may take a while to announce.
Hope that makes sense!:-?

[andyfake]

Percussion - Flugel - Repiano

A couple of weeks ago all these were filled - we'd even bought a new uniform for one of them!

However, nothing in life is certain, except that occasionally people let you down!

So.....if you're handy with drums, cornet or flugel, get in touch. We've some good concerts coming up, plus Pontins, Butlins and the Areas. Our points tally means that even though we finished 5th in the National Finals, we remain in the 2nd Section next year and, needless to say, we want to take it by storm!

We are a very sociable and friendly band, who look to play well together and move the band forward as a team. New MD to be appointed after Pontins - these are exciting times, so get involved!!

[andyfake]

Pleased to report that "Jacko" has agreed to stay on and do as much as he can on the back line (sense of deja vu here ;) ). This makes the rep position a little less critical, although another cornet player would be very welcome and could be fitted in various seats according to ability/ambition.

Which leaves:

Flugel

and

Percussion

With the announcement of a new MD imminent, we are looking to get the line-up for next year settled nice and early. Given this year's fantastic performances and results, we really want that "area" title in March so get in touch and help make it happen!

[andyfake]

Still a bit of shuffling around to do as we settle on a line-up for next year. We now have a full cornet section, although with a couple of "part-timers" in there, we wouldn't be averse to doubling up if a good player wanted to come in.
We are still advertising for a Flugel (though hopeful of filling this shortly),
Percussion (full time section leader - kit or tuned, perhaps a bit of both?!), Bass (Eb or BBb) and now also for a 2nd Horn.
Our new MD, Russell Gray, starts this week and we are obviously keen to fill these seats with the right players as quickly as possible.
We have a very good atmosphere within the band, a good balance of concerts and contests and this year's results are not too shoddy:
1st at Derby and Buxton,
2nd at Butlins, Tameside and the Area
3rd at Pontins
5th at the Nationals
Highest ranked 2nd Section band in England (4br)
The points situation means we just missed out on promotion this year, so we get another crack at the 2nd Section titles before we, hopefully, make it back into the 1st Section.
So, if you can fit any of the above vacancies, enjoy sociable banding and like going onto the contest stage knowing you're in with a real chance of winning, please get in touch!

[andyfake]

Basses Basses Basses!
Hopefully by now you've all enjoyed contributing to Steve Butler's retirement thread/personal tribute site (http://www.themouthpiece.com/vb/showthread.php?t=30505) (bet Pete Roberts doesn't feel the need to start his own!) ;) .
Seriously though, good luck to Steve and we do hope to see you again soon. In the meantime, this all means the "principal" bass seat is up for grabs and we would welcome applications from competent and committed bass players of either persuasion. A combination of part-timers and potential retirees (well, Wilkie reckons he's getting on a bit!), means that we can be flexible enough to offer Eb and/or BBb to suitable players.
Come and join our "engine room"!

I believe Pete Roberts has retired from banding, I have just retired from Kippax. I hoped the thread might help to publicise the dire need of competent bass players at Kippax, hopefully a bit younger than me and old father wilky.
Maybe I should add a couple of dozen lines to my tmp signature as a REAL personal tribute eh? ;)

[iancwilx]

Basses Basses Basses!
Wilkie reckons he's getting on a bit.

Too true - Could you all please form an orderly queue to take over my chair with this excellent bunch of successful and sociable banders.
The 18th December will be the 50th anniversary of my first brass music lesson and I'm still learning!!!
After 18 happy years at Kippax it's about time I made way for younger blood and became an observer rather than a participant.
This a smashing opportunity for an aspiring ambitious Bass player.
I will of course be "Holding the Fort" until you make your mind up !!
- Wilkie

[andyfake]

We are now only short of a BBb Bass player and, while we would of course welcome any last minute/unregistered volunteers for the "Area", realistically we are looking for applicants with a view to starting after the area contests - so please get in touch!
On the percussion front, everything is in place for Bradford, but post-area, we would still like to sign a good full time kit player - over to you drummers!!

[andyfake]

Well the percussion front is looking a bit rosier, but where are those pesky basses?
Ideally, we could do with one of each flavour (and this would include the "principal" seat if that sort of thing matters to you!). We currently have an Eb who's moved from bass trombone, so needs a mate and a BBb who's trying to get off shifts to give more commitment.
There's a full band of cracking players sitting in front of this depleted bass-line, but we'd really like to hear a bit more coming from the back!
Come on you lot - you know it makes sense!

[andyfake]

Our long serving solo baritone player, Lee Fairburn, will be stepping down this summer, so we are now searching for a suitable replacement. There is actually the flexibility to appoint to either the 1st or 2nd seat, depending on your ability, ambition, etc.
Lee has made the baritone very much a solo instrument within the band, so if you feel like an undervalued radiator blower, this could be the seat for you!
As usual, please contact via pm or phone Colin Moss on 01977 709901. All enquiries in complete confidence.

[agentorange]

Wow! I always thought Lee would be there 'till old age!! Is he off to another band or just taking a break?

Hope you find a suitable replacement, and all the best to Lee in whatever he decides to do.

[steve butler]

As Flugelman would say "he'll be back"
All the best Lee

[andyfake]

Current Vacancies:

Repiano Cornet (Jacko's on bass - really - and before you say anything Mr Butler, he's doing rather well!;) )
Solo Baritone (2nd says he would rather stay there and get a right good mate in)
Eb and BBb Bass

Looking around, we're in a better position than many others, and certainly in a better position than we were a couple of years ago just before we won lots of prizes! So, there's reasons to be optimistic, but we'd dearly love to get these seats permanently filled.

Commitments this summer are pretty light, but we'll be looking to be settled and playing out of our skins by the time it gets to Pontins!

Please note that the recently vacated MD position is not being formally advertised at the present time (but it might be in the future!)

[steve butler]

Can't stop myself (run for cover chaps)
Dave!!!! You are going to have to put some of that timber back on again! You need to be a big brute of a man to play the bass (like me and wilky :wink:)
You go for it Dave, its admirable that you are doing your bit for the band (tried to word that without sounding condescending which I definately aint)

I can vouch wholeheartedly that any bass players thinking of joining the "mighty Kippis" will have a great time sat next to Jacko.

And the unforgettable lime green curiously stained underpants.
Tracey Emmin could arrange them tastefully with a couple of empty "Newky Brown" bottles as an art exhibit and make you millions !!.
Go for it Jacko, I hope you enjoy playing EEb Bass as much as me and my Buddy do - it's so cuddly !!

[flugelman]

The lime green undies have gone!! Burnt after this year's areas result

Yes I'am enjoying it Wilky!!!! Starting to make some progress a month on!!! Not sure I'm fit to step into yours or Butlers illustrious shoes. The only thing that would make it better would be if I had some more colleagues on the bass row.

Come on you bass players- WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!?
