New Band For Youngsters

A new group which has been formed in Scissett intend to make a big noise in the village. Youngsters met in the village last night (Thursday) to form Scissett Youth Band. Their leader, local part time peripatetic brass teacher Mrs Pat France of Holmfirth, decided to form the band to give brass players up to the age of eighteen the chance to play in a band.

“There are a lot of youngsters who are not members of band,” said Mrs France. “I thought that forming a new band would give them the chance and experience of playing together.” she said. Once the band is established, public appearances will be organised. Mrs France hopes that a concert can be organised in time for Christmas.
