Our very own Caroline Blackmore kept the pot boiling with her Band Treasurer Graeme Coomer adds another name to the list. Salute to Youth Cameron Lee Some people may believe that a brass band with a 122-year history would only have grumpy old men within its ranks. While Woolston Brass does have a few senior members, it is the younger generation who are filling the band room as well as some of the principal seats. A quick head count reveals that the majority of the band members are under 40 years of age but more remarkable is that a third of all the players are under 23. (This is a statistic from the senior band not the Brass Academy.) So in this issue of The Woolstonian we aim to highlight our more youthful side, starting with a few words from 18-year-old Chris Broadbent on his highlights of the 2013 National Youth Band: This year the National Youth Band was based in the far south in a little town called Roxburgh. The south did not disappoint with sunny, hot weather for the duration of the camp and large crowds in all three towns the band performed in. This year the band was lucky to be in the presence of greatness, with Dr Robert Childs, the famous musician and probably the biggest name in brass banding around the world, coming to the camp. Dr Bob took master classes with some band members. It was incredible to watch him transform a solo from just a piece of music to a musical masterpiece, just by changing the dynamics and inspiring Jordan Seaton the musician to put feeling and passion into the music. He also took the band for a rehearsal and in just a short hour he managed to transform the band’s playing from good playing to brilliant playing by just talking for most of the rehearsal. Dr Bob’s influence on the band was amazing, just his presence in the room made the band step up and play brilliant music. I’m sure that many members and tutors took a lot out of what Dr Bob told the soloists and the band members. Another excellent musician who the band was lucky Ross Yorkstone enough to accompany was Byron (Buzz) Newton. Buzz and Christopher Broadbent Andrew Yorkstone is a world-class euphonium player and a former pupil of Dr Bob Childs at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Buzz played four pieces with the band backing him and all of these pieces impressed not only the audience but the band members as well. One piece of advice I heard on camp was “an amateur musician will practice till they get it right; a professional musician will practice till they don’t get it wrong”. I feel Buzz falls in the professional league for I never heard him split a note whether it was in the practice room or the concert. As well as being an incredible musician, Buzz also got involved in the physical activities with the band members. He took part in touch rugby, Frisbee and catch where he threw the ball as hard as he could at a slip cordon consisting of ten band members. It was unknown before this that Buzz is a very good cricket player and could actually throw the ball reasonably hard. The National Youth Brass Band camp was a great learning experience for many members of the band and never fell below my expectations musically and socially. It was great to spend time with other keen young musicians from around the country. Our congratulations to the Woolston members of 2013 National Youth Band of New Zealand: Miles Bennett, Joel Williams Miles Bennett Chris Broadbent, Kyle Lawson, Cameron Lee, Jordan Seaton, Joel Williams, and Andrew Yorkstone. Nick Johnson Woolston Brass Academy Update from Kate Sander Woolston Academy’s end of year celebration was held at the newly rebuilt pub The Twisted Hop relocated in the Woolston Village. A fitting location and many thanks to the owners and manager who are both involved with the Academy. The Junior Band and Concert Brass played to a full house and it was great to see lots of friends and family in the audience as well as many members of senior band who came along to support us and listen to the progress that has been made by all the players. We took the opportunity to celebrate a record ten members of the Learners’ Group who are now ready to move on to Junior Band. Tutors Bill Vail, Emma Caunter and Dale Hounsome-Vail have clearly done a great job in preparing these new players for the band. In turn four cornet players from the Junior Band were promoted to Concert Brass. After performances from both bands the following awards were presented: the Most Improved Player awards went to Zac Powell (Junior Band) and Geoff Drewett (Concert Brass) and Bandsperson of the Year A word from Nick Johnson to Martin Bennett (Concert Brass) and the Wilson/Sanders family (Junior Band). Hi everyone, I just wanted to say how pleased I am to take over the baton of Concert Brass.

  • The Sociology of Health Promotion: Critical Analyses of Consumption
    The sociology of health promotion Over the last decade the promotion of health has become a central feature of health policy at local, national and international levels, forming part of global health initiatives such as those endorsed by the World Health Organisation. At the same time a concern with ‘healthy living’ has become a preoccupation for many people. The Sociology of Health Promotion responds by offering the first critical sociological account of these developments and locates them within a set of wider socio-cultural changes associated with late modernism. Drawing upon the work of Foucault, Beck, Giddens, Featherstone and others the book presents a theoretical as well as empirical examination of health promotion. The Sociology of Health Promotion offers analyses of contemporary public health policy, lifestyle, consumption, risk and health. It also examines socio-political critiques of health promotion and reflects upon their implications for policy and practice. Substantive topics covered include: the institutional emergence of health promotion at both global and national levels, accidents and the risk society, smoking, HIV/AIDS, ageing, the body, and health-related consumption. A key theme of the collection is that health promotion is emblematic of wider sociocultural changes. Changes such as the demise of institutional forms of welfare and social control, a blurring of ‘expert’ and lay knowledge, a heightened collective perception of uncontainable risks, and a shift to a consumer- rather than producer-driven economy. This collection will be invaluable reading for students and social scientists with an interest in health and health policy, health promotors, public health doctors and practitioners engaging in critical reflection upon their professional activities.
