All at the Shepherd Band Organisation are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our former player and dear friend, Mick Evans.
Mick was a valued member of the band during our Rowntrees days, and many of his friends and former bandmates remain active in the bandroom today.
Mick was laid to rest at York Crematorium on Friday. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with Gill and the family at this difficult time. 🎺❤️🎺
We had an outstanding evening last night in the band room as our youth band continued preparations for their upcoming debut at this year’s Youth Brass in Concert Championships at The Glasshouse, Gateshead.
The session was dedicated to focused sectionals, expertly led by Les McCormack, James Stockdale, Sean Chandler, and Andy Grace. It was truly inspiring to witness the remarkable progress made in just two hours.
A heartfelt thank you to these talented musicians for their time, guidance, and dedication — your input is making a real difference and continues to inspire our young players. 🎺🎺🎺
