I AM a member of the Smithills School Brass Band, and I would on behalf of every member of the band like to say thank- you to our excellent musical director, Mr Wormald. Not only is he a superb teacher, but his knowledge and leadership abilities have taken the band beyond everyone's imagination. We would like him to know that we do appreciate his hard work and endless fund-raising efforts. We know that the band means as much to him as he does to us, even though we may not always show it, but we do appreciate the time and effort that he gives to us.

We believe that there has never been a more caring and dedicated teacher as Mr Wormald. He is an ambitious and altruistic person constantly motivating and working with the band to achieve a high standard. His efforts do not ever go unnoticed. We notice. We care and we are really grateful.

We would also like to acknowledge the help given by Mr Holt (Band Manager), Mrs Dunning, Miss Masters, our parents and everyone else who has helped the Smithills School Brass Band.
