General News

Brighouse & Rastrick Band are delighted to announce the appointment of Alan Morrison as the bands new Musical Director and Principal Conductor.  

Alan will have responsibility for conducting the majority of rehearsals and concerts from December 2006 onwards and will also front the band at all of the major contests next year.  

Richard Evans has agreed to accept the role of Associate Conductor to the band and will conduct at several concerts throughout the year and most notably direct the defence of the Brass in Concert Championship in November which Brighouse won so emphatically this year.  

Alan Morrison therefore relinquishes the position of Principal Cornet with the band and and his replacement is Stephen Wilkinson, previously Principal Cornet with the Fairey Band.

Alan's 'Cornet Cascade' recording, is now available in CD format only.  If you would like to purchase this or any of his other recordings or tuition video, they are available through his online shop.  The shop accepts cheques, credit cards and debit cards and you can make your orders online (through a secure environment), by telephone or by fax, but for security reasons, orders by post should only be made if you're paying by cheque.  You can visit Alan's own department within this new enterprise by clicking here (www.justbrass.co.uk/alanmorrison/onlineshop.htm).

Alan Morrison wins a `Harry` for his contribution to the mailing list about adjudication criteria.  Here is the very thing itself. If you would like to read the article that won this award please go to Article 1

Alan was asked to write an article for an Internet magazine, 4BarsRest, recounting the story of the 1992 National Championships, probably the most emotional and extraordinary band contest ever. If you would like to read it, please go to Article 4
