[Ian]

We currently have vacancies for front row cornets, tenor horn, tenor trombone and Eb bass. 3rd section friendly band which is going places under our new conductor!

[Hilary Mateer]

Hi Ian
Welcome to theMouthPiece and I hope you find some players soon. :D
Have you filled the euph and bari positions :?:

About time someone updated the website though.
It still looks as it did when I left it. :evil:

I think the guest book has expired as well :cry:

[ploughboy]

hiya ian,
Done occasional bits with these guys, always friendly and welcoming, If your a Sheffield type person, this should be the band for you!!!

And i'm there tonight wagging, so i'll see you all there, Full Band eh??

[Hilary Mateer]

Apologies - there is a new item on the news page. Interesting to read about Ivor

Date last amended hasn't been altered on main page though.

I'm quite missing the band and the pub quiz after practice so might pop down to a rehearsal soon.

[Ian]

Look forward to seeing you Hilary...

[ukdrummerboy]

Hey

Thanks for letting Stocksbridge borrow your bandroom this thursday, i'll be down on friday to bring you the keys back!!!

[Ian]

Hey

Thanks for letting Stocksbridge borrow your bandroom this thursday, i'll be down on friday to bring you the keys back!!!

No Problems Gavin - pleased to help.. If you fancy leaving a bass mute around for me to look at Friday I'd appreciate it....

[ukdrummerboy]

Doh! i keep forgetting (see, we percussionists dont have a great memory...especially when it come to brass related things!) i'll get hold of one for you at some point when we arnt using them!

[Ian]

We are going through a bit of a tough patch and need a new conductor and several new players - solo/tutti cornets, solo euph, 1st tromb., solo horn, Eb bass, tuned percussion..... ring Norman, 0114 2205167.[/b]

[madandcrazytromboneguy]

hey ian, have u been able 2 find a new md yet?, with so many people looking 2 conduct bands these days i would have thought u would have had at least some interest, i would have been but i would prolly get a tellin off from my band who i play trombone with and your a bit 2 far away as i dont own my own transport, do u have any players from the west part of yorkshire?

[Ian]

We have one or two applications for conductor which we are considering - just a case now of finding the one which is most compatible with the band I think. We don't have any regular players from West York yet, I think most can find bands locally to suit their needs. However, if anyone wants to come along they would be most welcome - it seems that, in this area, there are more bands than players...

[JamesGamble]

Hey Ian, long time no see. Sad to see O'bridge going through this patch. You lot were always a great bunch to be around, shame i had no option but to leave. Anyone coming along will no doubt feel very welcome within 5 mins of stepping in the bandroom (nudge-nudge hint-hint - get yourself down there if you aint got a band!). As you aren't looking for a soprano player, it'll still be a while before i drop down again to play (unless Jack goes on holiday!).

[Ian]

Thanks James but who said we aren't looking for a sop - in fact that is one of the positions we are most anxious to fill on a permanent basis along with a couple of tutti cornets, solo euph and 2nd Eb bass.

Oughtibridge Brass Band (Yorkshire 3rd Section) require the following players to complete an otherwise stable band:

Solo cornets
sop
baritones
2nd euph
solo trombone
additional percussionist
and solo horn (as our current solo horn is wishing to move down due to lack of time!)

I know it sounds that we need a lot of players, but rehearsals are ALWAYS productive, the band is really stable and have a lot of friends that kindly help out but need a committed bunch of permantent players on the seats.

We are a friendly and social bunch of people (and i'm not just saying that!), there is a brilliant atmosphere in the rehearsal room and a customary pint in the pub across the road as a reward!

if anybody who wants to come along and see for yourself if i'm telling the truth, you can visit the website www.oughtibridgebrassband.co.uk, or pm me for more details.

You know you want to!

[Pythagoras]

Can certainly vouch for them being very friendly and is a good pub afterwards (particularly good pork scratchings if you like that kind of thing!)

[yorkshirepuddin]

Cheers Daniel, sure someone will be interested now you've brought pork scratchings into the equation!!

[yorkshirepuddin]

Does the New Year bring a change in band for you? Well why not come down to Oughtibridge? Yorkshire 3rd section, own band room, pub up the road for much needed refreshments and a quiz to test us! p.m me for details, all positions considered.

[yorkshirepuddin]

Oughtibridge are on the look out for back row (may be a front row too), 2nd euph, and possibly a horn to help us get to the areas this year, otherwise we may not be able to go :(

So, if your interested full time, or could just help us out we would be very grateful and you would never have to buy a drink in the pub!

pm either myself or hornsrus or visit the website www.oughtibridgebrassband.co.uk (http://www.oughtibridgebrassband.co.uk)

[hornsrus]

Hi guys and gals, following a recent success :clap: and promotion to third section we are looking for extra percussion, Oughtibridge play in the north of sheffield in their band room on station lane, so come and bang some pots and pans for us!
Contact me via pm or sarahmdickinson@hotmail.co.uk


all players always welcome for a blow (tuesdays and thursdays 730 start)

[ploughboy]

Call me touchy but advertising for people to play "pots and pans" is maybe not the best way to atract decent percussionists. Of course we all know the skilled art of playing all forms of percussion is far more difficult than "parping" down a piece of tubing! I would have said . . . . .

Freindly north sheffield band are seeking skilled and versitile percussionist to complement our exsisting section of one (photo can be seen here .. http://www.4barsrest.com/articles/2007/art683.asp). We have a varied and percussion freindly program with plenty to do at the back, a friendly band with a positive outlook and a great social side too. Gear provided. Come along and try us out!

There how was that for you? I think you can say all those things about you're band, you've a great team! Good luck ;-)
