BOURNEMOUTH YOUTH MARCHING BAND

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2022/23

This is the Trustees Annual Report of the Bournemouth Youth Marching Band for the financial year 2022-23.

The Band was formed in 2013 so this was our tenth year.

In this report we outline

our charity’s work
where our money comes from
how we’ve spent the money in the past year

The Band is a registered charity, non-profit making whilst remaining financially stable.

We are dedicated to allowing young people regardless of their ability, to develop their social and musical skills in a safe environment through their membership of the Band. Children and young people will always be at the heart of everything we do.

The Band is traditional in style with a modern, disciplined, supportive and fun approach to making music. We use traditional brass, woodwind and percussion instruments and we play a wide range of music from classical through to military marches, film music and pop.

The Band is entirely volunteer led, run and supported. We must thank everyone involved for giving freely of their time, energy and expertise.

BYMB is about Inclusivity, Teamwork, Respect, Discipline and Musicianship. Through membership of the Band we help young people develop to make a difference and to take their place in the community.

Our funds are predominantly raised through members subscriptions, performance fees, donations, sponsorship, events, fundraising, gift aid and grants.

The Band has left the Army Reserve Centre and we are now meeting every Wednesday at the Bourne Academy. One of our meetings was dedicated to safeguarding.The increased rent is still being covered by the subscriptions which are currently £10 per month.

We have begun meeting one Sunday a month at Poole Harbour and we are very grateful to the Poole Harbour Commissioners for allowing us the use of their facilities.

Our Awards Evening was held at the Ferndown Royal British Legion and we were delighted to welcome the Bandmaster of the Band and Bugles of the Rifles as the guest of honour.

Band Performances have included St George’s Day, Swanage and Ringwood Carnivals, a number of Remembrance and Christmas events, Easter at Parley Place and our Spring Concert. Forward bookings for the Band look healthy.

The Band spent a day in Swanage rehearsing with the Brentwood Imperial youth band.

Preparations have continued for our upcoming Band Tour to Disneyland Paris and the Netherlands. The Band has passed the audition to participate in the Disney parade.

Several members benefitted from the opportunity to perform with the Royal Marines Band at the Bournemouth Air Festival. There was a trip to the Royal Albert Hall to see the Royal Marines Band in the annual Mountbatten Concert.

Our main payments are costs relating to meeting hall rent, insurance, instruments, repairs, uniforms and transport.

Rollout of another set of the tunic uniforms has begun and should be complete by the Summer.

With membership increasing and a stable financial position the Band are well placed and secure for next year and for anything that may occur.

The Band has recovered very well from the effects of the pandemic and membership is increasing.
