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.

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.

Elizabeth was handed over by her mother, Susan. Two of Elizabeth’s ten siblings attended, Mysie (who piped her down the aisle) and another sister, Josie. The wedding was very much a family affair with all the meat for the dinner being grown and Barrett Hocking killed on the farm. All the other food was cooked and prepared by family, including a wedding cake that took 70 hours to make! The reception was held in NZ Army tents, and the music was “open mic” (though based on and around army dance band members) and bagpipes. Elizabeth will be joining us on stage playing her bagpipes at our forthcoming Anzac concert.
