BBG Bulletin Issue ISSUE 101 17th May 2019 Anyone following @BBGPerformance on Twitter will have seen what a busy week last week was for our students and colleagues. Olivia Clark in Year 8 is already a member of the Northern Ballet junior programme, but also took part in the Northern School of Contemporary Dance workshop which was held at BBG a few weeks ago. She was spotted by the programme leader from the Centre for Advanced Training (CAT) programme and invited to audition for a place in the most prestigious dance school outside London. Olivia attended the first audition, along with a few other BBG students, and was invited back for a second audition last week. She did astoundingly well, and was invited to join the CAT programme in the coming year. This is a really fantastic opportunity, and one which Olivia thoroughly deserves. She works incredibly hard, and has a true passion for all kinds of dance. I am sure, should she accept the place at the NSCD, she will be hugely successful. It is fantastic for BBG that Olivia will be able to follow in the footsteps of Year 11 student, Beth Maleham, who is coming to the end of her second year on the CAT programme, and I am sure that Beth will be on hand to offer wise advice on how to balance dance training with the many other commitments that Olivia has. Olivia’s sister, Harriet, in Year 7 also had a busy week last week. Harriet is part of Opera North’s Young Voices programme, and had auditions of her own this week to take part in the company’s upcoming performance of La Boheme. Harriet is yet to hear whether her audition was successful, but said that she has a good feeling about it and knows that she did her best. Well done Harriet, and good luck to Olivia and Harriet’s parents who will have to juggle car journeys and diaries to make sure that their daughters are both in the right place at the right time! At Cleckheaton Town Hall last week our very own Mrs Clough starred alongside Phoebe Backhouse of Year 9 in Spenborough Amateur Operatic Society’s production of Brassed Off. A number of #TeamBBG colleagues were privileged to be in the audience, and all were astounded by their talent. Mrs Clough played the role of Sandra, the wife of Grimley Colliery Band’s trombone player, Phil. It was a challenging role, but Mrs Clough was amazing. Phoebe played the role of a nurse, who looked after the band’s conductor, Danny, when he was taken ill. It was a thoroughly enjoyable performance, and we are all really proud of Mrs Clough and Phoebe. Zoe Cole from Year 9 was also busy performing last week, in Acorn Youth Theatre’s performance of Back to the 80s at Dewsbury Town Hall. Reviews have been brilliant, and I know that Zoe had a great time doing the performance. It was right up her street, with fabulous 80s songs, and fun dance routines. We’re waiting excitedly to hear what Zoe’s next show will be and are looking forward to booking tickets to watch. Friday night saw us in the theatre again, this time at Dewsbury Arts Centre watching Mia Bostock from Year 7 in a short played called Daft. The play, set in Victorian Bradford, tells the story of the mysterious deaths of a number of people, all linked to peppermints brought from a sweet shop. Mia played her role confidently and looked to be really enjoying herself on stage. It was a pleasure to watch her perform, and we’re really looking forward to seeing her act again in future productions. If you are interested in joining Dewsbury Arts Group please see the flyer on the next page. As if these performances were not enough, Saturday evening saw Tom Gall from Year 10 performing with the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Pipe and Drum band, alongside our own Miss Sanderson. Tom has been playing pipes with the band since around October, and he has grown so much in confidence during this time. The band’s pipe major, Teresa, has been so impressed with Tom’s commitment and progress that she has chosen him as a soloist twice in the band’s last two concerts. Tom played The Rose of Kelvingrove, which was accompanied by the concert band, and played it absolutely beautifully. He was also chosen to lead out the pipes in their opening walk-on piece; a very nerve-wracking task. Tom continues to go from strength to strength as a musician, and in a few weeks time will be playing a solo in the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service Medal Presentation Ceremony, which is a huge honour. We are incredibly proud of him. Molly Yeomans is one of our talented Year 10 students who regularly competes in Irish Dancing outside of school. Molly is a committed and dedicated student who has performed in many competitions from a young age. Molly was asked to share her most recent achievement with you and provide an overview of of her experience. What is Irish Dancing? • Irish dancing has two styles of dance - lights and heavies. The lights (soft shoes) usually consist of reels and slip jigs and the shoes are like a type of pump. Heavies (hard shoes) are heavy jig, hornpipe and sets. These are the types of dances in Riverdance; a bit like tap dance. Irish dance is probably one of the most challenging dances out there. • It requires a mental and physical core strength. Commitments: • I train three classes a week for 1½ to 2 hours each, which are very challenging as well as fitness training and extra practice at home on the days I'm not at class. We have roughly two competitions every month but this depends on the time of year. Each competition consists of 2-3 dances and you get marks out of 100 which are then ranked highest to lowest. That then relates to a placement in the competition. Presentation: • Irish dance tan is very different (think mahogany) and only goes on the legs. We wear wigs which are meant to imitate natural hair, just bigger and curlier, as well as dresses covered in crystals and lots of stage makeup Recent achievement: • At my recent competition I was placed 8th out of 14 with a 3rd in my solo and came first in the U15 category in my preliminary championship category. With Elisia Gallaghan, also in Year 10, who dances at the same school and level as Molly. Two of our students, Maisie Watts of Year 9 and Alex Porter of Year 8 are currently rehearsing with their performing arts group to appear in the Leeds Grand Theatre production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat at the beginning of June. Tickets are available from the Leeds Grand Theatre website- we’ve already got our tickets and can’t wait to see it! More great news Congratulations to Abigail Baines who has achieved Distinction in Grade 3 Ballet. Eliza Wright has also been successful in being selected in the Bradford Bulls Cheer Squad. Resilience was shown in abundance as Ellie, Lucy and Katy competed in their riding stables competition this weekend. The girls have been riding for 7 to 8 years and have loved being part of the Tong Lane Equestrian Centre. Well done girls, great results. Lily Trotter- Cleckheaton RUFC. Congratulations to Lily Trotter who was awarded with the coaches player of the year trophy at the Cleckheaton Girls Rugby annual presentation last week. A very well done Lily on a fantastic season - it is great to see you achieving success within your age group. Lily is part of our girls rugby team at BBG and does a fantastic job of inspiring her peers to take part in girls rugby. We are very excited to see how Lily and her teammates perform next season. Just a reminder that girls rugby sessions take place at BBG on a Monday afternoon at 14:30. Inspired by Lily and want to take part in girls rugby? On Sunday 19 May, Cleckheaton Rugby club hosted an RFU Inner Warrior session hosted by Malcom Trotter. The aim of the session of was to inspire girls to participate in rugby at all levels. Following on from the success of the session, Cleckheaton will be hosting weekly girls and women’s rugby sessions aimed at girls aged 11 upwards, which will take place on a Wednesday evening. All levels of experience and ability are welcome. For any more information or to register your interest, please see a member of the PE staff. Work on the steel framing system used to create the outside walls has continued at pace this week with large sections of the internal metal framework and external boarding now complete. Steel Framing System The system consists of C and U shaped studs and tracks, designed on a project-specific basis and constructed on site. The framing system allows for insulation and other materials to be inserted into the cavity and bricks to be bolted on to create the final external wall. The individual section are lightweight, galvanised and cold rolled so have many benefits over more traditional walling systems including speed of construction and cost effectiveness. They are also more sustainable long term with steel being one of the most recycled materials world wide. The system allows insulation to be inserted within the framework rather than between the brick and boarding as in a traditional build.

  • BBG Bulletin Issue
    ISSUE 123 10th January 2020 It seems that every new year brings a certain amount of both melancholy and anticipation in equal measures: melancholy for the year that has been, and anticipation for what lies ahead. And in this twilight time – before the realities of January have truly hit – we take some time to think about what has gone before, and what is to come. First, for the melancholy. 2019 was a roller-coaster of a year for us! Some of the highs include the ever-increasing number of students who threw themselves into outside events like pantomimes, dances and sporting events. We also opened a new wing here onsite at BBG, after a gruelling 50 weeks of building. We had some fantastic successes in our curriculum, especially with our applied resilience lessons where we watched as students developed skills ranging from baking, to skiing, to media presentations. We saw students achieve impressive exams results at GCSE, and go on to spectacular new pathways in their next stages of education. It is always bittersweet to reflect on these things, because we know that they were so special to have experienced them, but now they have gone. But, even as we feel this bittersweet nostalgia, we know that their transient nature is what makes these experiences so special – if they lasted, would we not take them for granted? Now, for the anticipation. 2020. A new year, a new decade, even! All with new, varied, and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for #TeamBBG. We are so excited for this year! We have a multitude of jaw-dropping trips that will be taking place: France, as ever, for our Year 7 students to develop their resilience and character.

  • The Works Brass Band – a Historical Directory of the Industrial and Corporate Patronage and Sponsorship of Brass Bands
    The works brass band – a historical directory of the industrial and corporate patronage and sponsorship of brass bands Gavin Holman, January 2020 Preston Corporation Tramways Band, c. 1910 From the earliest days of brass bands in the British Isles, they have been supported at various times and to differing extents by businesses and their owners. In some cases this support has been purely philanthropic, but there was usually a quid pro quo involved where the sponsor received benefits – e.g. advertising, income from band engagements, entertainment for business events, a “worthwhile” pastime for their employees, corporate public relations and brand awareness - who would have heard of John Foster’s Mills outside of the Bradford area if it wasn’t for the Black Dyke Band? One major sponsor and supporter of brass bands, particularly in the second half of the 19th century, was the British Army, through the Volunteer movement, with upwards of 500 bands being associated with the Volunteers at some time – a more accurate estimate of these numbers awaits some further analysis. However, I exclude these bands from this paper, to concentrate on the commercial bodies that supported brass bands. I am also excluding social, civic, religious, educational and political organisations’ sponsorship or support. In some cases it is difficult to determine whether a band, composed of workers from a particular company or industry was supported by the business or not. The “workmen’s band” was often a separate entity, supported by a local trade union or other organisation. For the purposes of this review I will be including them unless there is specific reference to a trade union or other social organisation.
