Brass band leader required

Verwood Concert Brass B band entertained the crowds at the Verwood Rotary Rustic Fayre on August Bank Holiday Monday. The band played all afternoon to an appreciative audience. The high point was a surprise guest conductor, young Harry Naughton, who led the band in a couple of spirited marches.  Harry is the four-year-old son of popular conductor Trevor Naughton who took over the band at its formation in June 2009. The group has gone from strength to strength under Trevor’s baton but sadly this was the last time Trevor was to lead the band. Due to potential promotion in the Royal Marines and the forthcoming arrival of a brother or sister for Harry, Trevor has reluctantly resigned as B Band MD. This means that the enthusiastic young band is looking for a new conductor. Anyone interested in applying for this post should contact VCB via their website, www.verwoodconcertbrass.co.uk or phone band chairman Paul Coward on 07971 526510.
