Syston
Band has been doubly fortunate recently to receive two financial awards. Syston
Town Council have given an £125 contribution towards the band’s Youth
Development Project.
Charnwood Borough Council has awarded £3000 toward the
refurbishment of some of the band’s instrument stock. Brass band instruments
are an expensive commodity; for example, a Euphonium can cost over £6000 and a Bb Bass over £10000. However, a refurbishment costing a fraction of this can
extend the life of an instrument by many years. Syston Band provides
instruments, music and uniforms free of charge and is grateful to CBC for their
help in ensuring the availability of serviceable instruments for present and
future members.
Syston Band Chairman, Dave Houseman, told the Syston Town
News that the Band acknowledges the time and hard work that Committee Member
Derek Burden devotes to sourcing grants
