Deiniolen restructure

The future of the Deiniolen Band looks secure after a bit of tweaking with the band organisation's structure.

The Deiniolen Band recently took the opportunity of thanking an excellent turnout of parents of its younger members at a special event at their 'Hen Felin' (The Old Mill) bandroom.

The future

The occasion gave the parents a chance to hear the organisation’s vision for the future and to outline the importance of the youngsters’ involvement within the band.

With the increased demand for membership, the youngsters will now be split into 3 groups – Junior, Intermediate and Youth Band. The band hoes this will give all members the opportunity of fulfilling their potential and will guarantee that they will be able to take an active role within the band whatever their ability.

The emphasis is very much on the enjoyment of being a member of the wider community of the bandChairman Irfon Morris

Enjoyment

"The emphasis is very much on the enjoyment of being a member of the wider community of the band," said a delighted Chairman Irfon Morris.

"The band ensures that there is ample opportunity for youngsters to progress through the ranks, hopefully into the Senior Band, whilst also ensuring that those members who do not wish to take this path are also fully involved in our activities."

With the creation of the three tier format the band feels that all members will receive the best possible experience.

Dedicated

The Junior and Intermediate Bands will be run by the dedicated team of Jeni Lyn Morris, Llio Morris, Daniel and Liam Taylor — all of whom have themselves have come through the ranks of the organisation.

The Youth Band will continue to be conducted by Hefin Jones, the bands youth conductor for well over 20 years. He will be assisted by Osian Tomos. All three groups will be overseen by the combined team of Gavin Saynor (Musical Director) and Wynne Williams (Resident Conductor).
