"We did not rush to appoint a replacement, wanting to make sure we got the right man. The EYMS Band is now delighted to announce the appointment of Alan as our new Musical Director."

We are delighted to welcome Alan, and we wish him a long, productive, and successful time as Musical DirectorEYMS Band
