Yesterday, saw a workshop held in Durham organised by the NABBC.

After an NABBC area meeting, the workshop started with a presentation on
score reading by Ray Farr, using the popular Resurgam by Eric Ball as the
study. The delegates listened to an excellent recording of the work by the
Grimethorpe Colliery Band under the baton of Elgar Howarth. After listening
to the piece, Ray took the delegates through the score asking all to comment
on the performance and discussing how to cope the various danger spots open
to the conductor within the score.

After lunch, Roy Newsome chaired a forum on the future of banding within the
North East of England with a panel of experts drawn from the local banding
scene. Much debate, discussion and the sharing of ideas was given; ideas
which could be taken back by delegates from other regions to use in their
own bands. The forum covered many topics, especially youth in banding and
the interaction between bands and the state education system.

The delegates then had a chance to put theory to practice using the Reg
Vardy Band to discuss the issues of Resurgam that that had covered in the
morning session. Delegates all had a fair chance to air their point of view
and to learn a lot from the band and the baton of Ray Farr.

I found it a most enjoyable and thought provoking day. My thanks to all who
gave their time, with special thanks to Andrew Whitaker and Ray Farr.
