| concerts and events this year which has been | |||||||

Para 1.20 | good for us all, as it has been difficult in the previous few years due to Covid. |
||||
| identifying | the difference the | ||||||
| charity's | work has | made to | |||||
| the circumstances | of its | ||||||
| beneficiaries | and any wider | We are very pleased that the number of | |||||
| benefits to | society | as a | players has increased in both the senior and |
||||
| whole. | training band across most sections and both |
||||||
| bands are continuing to thrive. |
|||||||
| In June we played in the Ilfracombe Bandstand |
|||||||
| during Victorian week. It was a wonderful | day | ||||||
| and there were many people listening and |
|||||||
| enjoying the music. We were told that the | |||||||
| band added to the whole experience of | |||||||
| Victorian week and people were very | |||||||
| appreciative. | |||||||
| The band played some Carols in the Barnstaple | |||||||
| High Street (subject to the correct licence | from | ||||||
| North Devon District Council) and this was | |||||||
| enjoyed by shoppers and members ofthe |
|||||||
| public for bringing some Christmas cheer into |
|||||||
| the town. | |||||||
| Barnstaple Concert Band was invited to play at |
|||||||
| the Grosvenor Church Carol Concert which |
is | ||||||
| always very well attended. It was a lovely |
|||||||
| festive occasion and the carols and Christmas | |||||||
| music was wonderful and loved by all those |
|||||||
| that were at the concert. | |||||||
| In September, in order to enhance the full |
and | ||||||
| rounded sound ofthe band we purchased |
a | ||||||
| Bass Clarinet. This has made an incredible | |||||||
| difference to the balance ofthe band and | is | ||||||
| helping out the bass section which has been | |||||||
| lacking in numbers recently. We have been |
|||||||
| fortunate to have new clarinet members join |
| the senior band to enable a player to go over |
|---|
| to play the Bass Clarinet. |
| The band has also invested in new music this |
| year, to further enhance our repertoire of |
| music we play. This is both good for the |
| audience to hear a wide-ranging variety of |
| music at concerts and also challenging and |
| more interesting for our players |
| The Training band is for all abilities of playing |
| and includes both children and adults. Various |
| styles ofmusic are played and enjoyed |
| together to improve their musical standards |
| and have the experience ofplaying in a band. |
| In March 2023, after contact with the North |
| Devon Hospice and The Barnstaple Ladies |
| Choir, we held ajoint concert in Newport |
| Church, Barnstaple. The concert was well |
| advertised and the church was full for the |
| evening. A representative from the North |
| Devon Hospice spoke about their work and the |
| total that was donated to them as a result of |
| this concert was an amazing f861.96. |
| More concerts are now being planned with |
| other local choirs and groups and we are |
| looking forward to the future. |
