Obituary - Tom O'Malley
The band are deeply saddened hearing the news that former St. Davids High School Head Teacher Tom O'Malley has passed away. Mr O'Malley was a huge supporter of the band when it was first created and indeed served as the band Secretary at an early stage. The band is indebted to his massive support at the beginning of our existence and also the wider community of the School pupils who attended St. Davids High School during his tenure. The thoughts of all the band will be with his family at this time. |

Youths Prep Section Success
 Their first piece, Singin' in the Rain, was judged to have, 'dynamic contrasts well handled' and 'a good balance of parts'. Handbags and Gladrags followed. After a ragged ensemble opening, both adjudicators enjoyed the 'strong delivery' of the 'confident solo cornet', with percussion adding to the overall performance. In the closing number, Ghostbusters, the band settled into 'well handled syncopation' and 'solid dynamics'. The young players and their conductor were delighted to be awarded a Silver certificate. |

Tribute to Robin Henderson
On Tuesday evening the band recorded a tribute to Robin Henderson. Robin sadly passed away after a battle with cancer and we felt we would like to make a tribute to the gentleman and friend that we knew so well. We had the privilege of having Robin play with the band at a concert but more than this he was always incredibly supportive and complimentary towards the band at all times. The word legend is a word that is used far too often but in this instance is an underestimation of his influence on his band, the members in it and the banding community surrounding him. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time and we hope this tribute helps to show how loved and respected he was. |
