A successful start to the contest year

The band competed in their first contest of the season on Sunday 28th June at Himley Hall in the West Midlands.

With great comments and great scores the band walked away taking the Championship Class. This was a great result as the contest band this year also contains a large group of young players who have just moved up from the Junior band.

The TYMBA contest is run alongside the Dudley Borough Armed Forces Day with the band then taking part in the Beat Retreat ceremony alongside The Band of The Royal Air Force Regiment and West Midlands Fire Service Band.

A great day was had by all and a great start to the TYMBA contest season.

Open Evening

The band will be opening their doors to anyone interested on Thursday April 30th, why not come along to see what we’re like and what we do.

If you’ve ever wanted to learn an instrument, learn to read music or can do all of the above and just want somewhere else to showcase your talent then this is the place for you.

All ages and abilities welcome, come along and see what we’re about and what we have to offer.

If you have any questions then ask us.

We look forward to seeing you all on the night.
