Welcome
Welcome
to the website for the University of Sheffield Concert Band;
part of the Music Players Society. On this site you can find
all the information you need to know like how to join, where
and when we meet, forthcoming
events and some photos of the
band (apologies in advance for these!)
Do
you play Brass, Woodwind or Percussion?
The Concert
Band forms part of the Music Players Society and has been around
for five years. There are six groups in the society, and we are
the largest. You dont need to audition to be in the band;
you just need to come along to a rehersal if you play brass,
woodwind or percussion.
The band is
so popular because it gives the chance for all students to continue
playing music whilst studying, with a big social emphasis. There
are loads of socials each semester and a tour in
Semester 1; we went to Newcastle last year and are going to London
this year. As well as all this, we perform two formal concerts
a year. So just come along!
The
Committee 2002-3
The band is
run by students and each year we get a committee together so that
things run smoothly in the band. Here is whose who this year:
|
Paul
Skinner (Music Director): This
is the third year Paul has been chair and continues
to keep things under control!
|
|
Rachel
Upton (Librarian): Rachel
(tenor sax) has the stressful job of sorting
out our music but manages to stay calm about it and
gets our music into the folders!
Eleanor
(Publicity): Eleanor (french
horn) publicises our concerts and keeps us updated
about what is going on.
|
|
|
Clare
Hinkley (Socials): Clare
(flute) is social secretary and is open for
suggestions for places to go!
Nick
Cliffe (Concerts): Nick
(trumpet) organises the concerts we have each
semester; usually we have two formal concerts a year.
|
|
Jon
Reed (Tour): Jon (trombone)
is organising the tour to London this year. Listen
out for more information!
Mark
Wilson (Website): Well thats
me (another flautist). If theres anything else you
want to see on the site, email me!
