Summary of the year’s developments
New Musical Director
Charlotte Danford joined us as our new MD in February 2023. She has settled in very well. Players are inspired by her enthusiasm, energy and musicianship.
New Rehearsal Venue
The band moved to rehearse at St John’s Church in Macclesfield in February 2023. It is working well and offers flexible spaces for our activities.
Increased band membership
The band has steadily increased in numbers with a group of total beginners starting their training this year. Attendance at band rehearsals has been excellent.
Playing for the community
The band played at many events in the Macclesfield area throughout the year. These included events at care homes, the local hospital and in Macclesfield town centre. MB took part in the Whit Friday Contest in Saddleworth and Tameside.
Changing financial situation
Members of MB continue to support the band by donating towards the running costs. The year’s financial activities have resulted in a fall in our reserves which will inform our fundraising for the coming year.
