What a difficult two years it has been with no rehearsals for almost a year and yet many of our players stuck with Lions Brass 4 Youth doing on line lessons, on live playing projects and even a 100-piece challenge raiding over £800 for the Southmead hospital Covid charity. I would be lying to say that we didn’t take a hit, we certainly did and lost in the regions of 40 players leaving quite a hole in all our bands. Even when we returned to rehearsals the risk assessments, sanitation procedures, playing with bell covers and socially distanced band made rehearsals very different from what these young people were used to. Never the less with perseverance I am confident that we will yet again rise up and become as strong if not stronger than we were before. So we need to grow from the bottom again as such we started two new starter bands this year with 9 and 7 players. Our training band consists of 10 players, junior band 8 players and youth band 21 players. We also started an off shoot elite group, giving us a ten piece band chosen from youth band in order to challenge these more experienced players. For anyone who is following the maths you will see that even with two new starter bands the organisation has dropped from 85 players in 2019 to 54 presently and by far the majority of these are due to Covid. As well as very generous donations from some clubs in 105SW as well as a large donation at this years convention we have also been very lucky this year having received substantial donations from Nailsea and Backwell rotary club following their Nailsea walks and runs fundraiser, from the co-op Langford token collection, a piece of music personally donated by a Crediton lion and a huge £19,800 grant which was used specifically to fund brand new top of the range instruments for our principle players, and fund starter band 15. With two years without performances our fund have obviously also been hit quite hard so we are very grateful for these supporters. We have had a significant change in musical direction this year with the resignation from MD of David Hollister, this was obviously a great loss to the organisation and we would like to thank him for all his hard work and commitment to Lions Brass 4 Youth since it commenced. However, this was mitigated not only by Abie, who many of you know, stepping up to conduct youth band but also by Rachel Hincliffe joining our team of conductors as training band conductor. Rachel was our principle cornet player in the past and it is great to welcome her back. We also were lucky enough to precure Roger Sansom a North Somerset Brass teacher and conductor, to conduct one of our starter bands. The enthusiasm and energy of these three conductors is very evident in the band room and will be taking LB4Y forwards to a very bright future, Only two weeks ago we also had Paul Denegri, who is the recently retired head of Brass at Wells Cathedral school over for a master class. This brought yet another dynamic to the rehearsal and we hope to repeat this and similar events in the future. **Lions Brass 4 Youth** **No (if any)** ## **Receipts and payments accounts** 9/1/2020 8/31/2021 **For the period from** **To** ## **Section A Receipts and payments** **Unrestricted funds** ## **Restricted Endowment Total funds funds funds** **----- Start of picture text -----**
