The 1st Claygate
Scout & Guide band was re-formed in March 2001. Starting with a core of
around 10 band members, the band has grown steadily since then with
membership now standing at 18. All but two band members were beginners
when they joined the band.
In March 2002 the band
passed the Scout Association Band “Inspection” at it’s first attempt!
This was an excellent achievement for all band members and a credit to
their hard work and dedication throughout the year. The enthusiasm of
all Band members remains outstanding.
The band’s objectives for
the coming year are challenging:
-
To expand Band membership to a minimum of 25
players;
-
To expand the musical repertoire of the band
– both its variety and difficulty – to enable the band to support the
Group in parades, fetes and concerts;
-
Develop a Drum Major for the band;
-
Focus on band turn-out and drill
Over the coming year, we
hope to undertake more public engagements including the St Georges Day
Parade, Remembrance Day Parade and the Group Summer Fete.
