Armthorpe Elmfield Junior Band
Armthorpe Elmfield started as a junior band. Many of the members of the senior band started their playing under the care of Haydn Griffiths, more years ago than some of them care to remember! This tradition of development of young talent continues.
The Junior band currently has over 20 playing members, and 11 beginners. They undertake their own engagements, as well as joining with the senior band for concerts such as this one, and the old folks teas in Armthorpe. Several players also play in the senior band, so get less rest than the others!! The Junior band had a television appearance some years ago when they played on BBC’s Blue Peter.
The junior Band rehearse on
Tuesdays 6.00pm to 7.00pm
Beginners Tuesday 6.00pm to 7.00pm
Wednesday 7.00 pm to 8.00pm
All rehearsals at the band room situated in Armthorpe Youth Club, Mere Lane.
The junior band are sponsored by David Mitchell of the Old Rectory Nursing Home in Armthorpe and would like to express their gratitude to him for his invaluable support and encouragement.
