Youth Band Residential Weekend – 22nd to 24th November
The Youth Band
training weekend is designed to develop the band musically, build friendships
and bring everyone together as a team. It is very important that all the
members of the main Youth Band partake, as the sessions will be a mixture of
music training and team building activity. This time the venue is the White
Hall Outdoor Education Centre near Buxton in Derbyshire.
Arriving between 17.45 and 18.15 on
the evening of Friday 22nd November, activities will take place
until the afternoon of Sunday 24th
November, finishing at approximately 15.30. Accommodation
is on a full board basis including two evening meals, two breakfasts and two
lunches.
As well as musical activities organised by Mike Eccles, there will be many
organised centre-based activities.

Dropping
off and picking up players at Poynton Methodist Church
We ask all drivers not to drive onto the area in
front of the church when dropping off and picking up players. This is for
safety reasons but also because the church administrators have specifically
asked us not to drive vehicles on to the tarmac area in front of the church
building.
Poynton Youth Brass Band is in partnership
with The Love Music Trust. The Love Music Trust is an Arts Council funded
organisation set up to promote music services for young people in the Cheshire
East county. Information about The Love Music Trust can be obtained on their
web site at http://www.lovemusictrust.com.
