Band

The Marching Band meets weekly to practise and regularly participates and leads local events.

There are currently about 18 playing members of the band. Michael Braithwaite is an instructor in the Bell Section and Ashley Hope is currently playing lead bell. In the Drum Section Alice Sullivan is lead drummer. The Brass Section instructors are Matt Sheard and John Oliver. Jack Simmonds has recently joined us to help out with the Wind Section. Oliver Fowler from the Junior Section is playing lead in the brass section.

This year we have played at the Martin House Hospice Event in Swanland and at the Hull and East Yorkshire Battalion Founders Day Service. We also led the Yorkshire County Battalion Parade in Airedale. In addition we led the Anlaby Common Christmas Lights Switch On and various other Christmas events. We plan to enter the Boys' Brigade Showcase Marching Band Championships and the Boys' Brigade Brass Band Competition. We will also be leading the Scouts St. George's Day Parade in Lincoln.
