Hi Ian
Welcome to theMouthPiece and I hope you find some players soon.
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...

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!

Oughtibridge band (Sheffield) needs MD and players

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]

A great bunch!

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.
