Garforth Brass has recently appointed local Councillor Mark Dobson as their new president.
Mark has represented the Garforth and Swillington Ward since 2007 and has been invited to take up the presidency at the start of an exciting new period for the band.
Cllr Dobson said:
It is an absolute pleasure and delight to take up this new role with the band.
I am delighted that the band are going from strength to strength and it is an absolute joy that our community has representation at brass band events and competitions.
I very much look forward to working closely with the organisation.
Dave Gibson, Chairman added:
We welcome Mark as our new president. This has come at a pivotal time when we are launching several new initiatives, including expanding our community events and participation in concerts throughout the year, in addition to launching our 'Friends of Garforth Brass' initiative very soon.
Please look out for future developments.
