Thanks to the hard work of our fantastic youngsters and the generosity of the people of Saddleworth we managed to raise £365 for charity in 2020. The players asked that the money be given to When You Wish Upon a Star and Oldham Foodbank . Thank you everyone and fingers crossed we will be out and about again soon.
A very merry Christmas from everyone at Dobcross Youth Band. We hope you enjoy this final section of our virtual Christmas concert, featuring our senior players and beautiful solos from Hannah Prickett and Millie Hampson. Many thanks to the team at Denshaw Village Hall for welcoming us to their centre, giving us enough room to get the whole band together.![]()
We hope all our players, their families and our supporters have a wonderful Christmas.
We're so proud of the progress our young training band have made this year, as you can hear in this wonderful Christmas selection. They're quite a small group now as many trainers moved up to the Youth Band this autumn but they're doing fantastically well - many thanks to them (and their families) for all their hard work!
