  Garry Cutt will lad the Enderby Training Day initiative

There has already been a great response to the recent announcement that Enderby Youth and Junior Bands will host a special training weekend at Lutterworth College later this month that is open to players from all over the country.

Generously supported by Yamaha Musical Instruments, who have once again generously provided funding to help cover the costs of the Neo Brass tutors, the event on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September will be led by Fairey MD, Garry Cutt (above) and will start at 9.15am each morning and finish around 5.00pm.

Neo artists

Garry will be joined by Yamaha Neo artists, Kirsty Abbotts (cornets), Lucy Cutt (flugel and tenor horns), Steve Walsh (euphoniums and baritones) and Simon Gresswell, MD of Enderby Band, who will provide tuition to the tuba sections.

In addition, Alli Smith, an experienced tutor on the annual Wessex Brass Band Course will lead the percussion section, whilst members of the Enderby Band organisation will be on hand to support the work of the Yamaha tutors as players of all tackle a wealth of challenging music, as well as providing pastoral care.

The two days will be a mixture of full band rehearsals and sectionals, with regular breaks so players can meet new friends and socialise4BR

Two bands

Participants will be divided into two bands for the weekend: A junior band for players from beginner standard up to Grade 2 standard, and a main band for players of Grade 3 standard and above.

The two days will be a mixture of full band rehearsals and sectionals, with regular breaks so players can meet new friends and socialise.

The course will conclude with a play through of the music on the Sunday afternoon to which parents and friends are warmly invited.

The cost is only £20.
