From Little Acorns grow...

Sellers International Youth Band has been undergoing a rejuvenation — both on and off line!

Sellers
 

Sellers International Youth Band has undergone an online transformation by having their internet website rebuilt.

Full of photos, news, an online shop and a brighter interface, the regeneration is a reflection of what is happening with the band itself under the direction of Black Dyke flugel star Alex Kerwin.

Training band

Starting their new training band, 'Little Acorns' in March this year with just four players, over the last few months it has flourished in numbers and has grown to 24 – the youngest of whom is 3 year old Robbie Chapman!

The training band has also given their first public performance and is starting show great promise.

We are a very friendly band, committed to our youngsters giving them the best tuition and ensuring the survival of our musical heritageAlex Kerwin

Friendly

After losing several players to university education, Sellers has also attracted new members, building right up to nearly a full compliment of players.

Alex told 4BR: "We are a very friendly band, committed to our youngsters giving them the best tuition and ensuring the survival of our musical heritage. Although tuba players are especially welcome we would love to see any new players for either Little Acorns or Sellers International Youth Band."

Paris

The band is looking forward to several concerts before the end of the year, and hopes to compete at the Action Research and National Youth Championships in 2001 as well as undertaking a tour to Paris.

The new website can be found at: www.sellersinternationalyouthband.com
