Questions for Band Talk - 18th March - Kenny Crookston

Dave Chambers — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 17:33:18 +0000

Our guest is Kenny Crookston, former editor of British Bandsman, former player with Whitburn and currently CEO of Brass Bands England. I've asked him to talk about BBE, what they do, current and future projects, as well as his brass banding history and hopefully some anecdotes. There'll be a Q&A session too but if anyone wants me to send any questions prior to Thursday, send them my way or pop them onto the website. https://www.bbe.org.uk/about-us/our-key-people

Our guest on 4th March is Nicholas Garman, Secretary of the Association of Brass Band Adjudicators. He's asked for some pre-prepared questions so please post these below (before 25th Feb).

Part of the evening will be an interactive activity where we will all become adjudicators! You'll need the score (follow the link below), the assessment criteria (link below) and a pair of headphones would be useful. If you need me to send paper copies of the attached files, let me know and I'll get them to you.

Questions for Band Talk - Thursday 18th February

Dave Chambers — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 13:44:06 +0000

Hi everyone,

Please post any questions you have for Daniel Brooks, our guest speaker on 18th February. Daniel is the MD of Elland Silver Band who have risen through the contesting ranks from third to championship section in ten years. They also have an impressive organisation - five bands in total - and an extremely successful youth band.

Here is the message I sent to Daniel when I asked him to give us a talk

"I was hoping you could give a talk on how the band has grown and developed as it's progressed through the sections and your perspective on band improvement; the different bands that make up your organisation; and the challenges you've faced/overcome. Any banding stories and anecdotes would be more than welcome too!

Here at Maltby, we're very keen to develop & grow our band and widen our training band. Any examples and advice you can provide would be much appreciated."
