Today we should have been saying a very fond farewell to this year’s leavers, the fantastic Ben, Connie, Eleanor, Emily, Julian, Lucy and Rachel. With our summer concert, cancelled we’ve instead put together this short video to remind them of their happy days with the band - including performances at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the Menin Gate in Belgium, Blackpool’s Winter Gardens and Birmingham Symphony Hall, as well as plenty of Whit Fridays and concerts closer to home. They are all brilliant role models as well as talented players and we will all miss them very much. As always with anyone who has ever been part of the DYB family, we hope they will come back to see us and keep in touch. We’re sorry we couldn’t present their leaving watches in person and even sorrier to miss the solos they had been practising for their final concert but they head off to university this autumn with huge thanks and lots of love from everyone at DYB.
