<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The City of
Elizabeth Pipe Band has had a very successful year in 2014/2015and has
continued to build on the previous year’s successes on most fronts. We have
finished 2014/2015 with more members, more engagements and a well presented and
performing band. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
attendance of a few members is a concern – a combination of injury, illness,
work and study commitments have kept a few members away from practices and
engagements. Pipers and drummers do not grow on trees – we need to retain all
our members to the best of our ability into the future.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The Band has
conducted one fundraising event in addition to paid engagements over the past
year. This was a Bunning’s BBQ on 28 March 2015, with the best profit so far
from this activity. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

12 months. Two members, namely Aaron Kogler and Matt Petroff are on leave from
the band during 2015. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
recruitment of Olav Goud in early 2014 for drumming tuition has already shown
results. Olav said right from that start that his aim was to make his position
obsolete. His attendance has reduced over recent months, but his input and
expectations are very evident in the corp’s performances.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> A recent extra-ordinary meeting of the Council
and College discussed the low support for the Branch activities by many member
bands, the number of vacant office bearer positions and the need to build
stronger links between the Pipe Bands SA branch and member bands. A plan was
developed at the time, but has not been followed through with since. Colin
Melville was identified as a possible candidate to eventually fill the vacant

<u>First Year of new and compliant Constitution:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The new and compliant Band Constitution was passed at the
2012 AGM in April of that year. As President, I have endeavoured to follow the
constitution to the letter and effect change to some of the ways the Band was
administered in the past. Committee and General Meetings have been held
regularly and in a formal way. This includes having the Financial Records audited
by an independent person to be presented to this AGM.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Fundraising Success:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Band has conducted a number of fundraising activities
over the past 15-16 months. These have included: Olive Oil drives; the 2012
Social Night and associated fundraisers; Two Bunning’s BBQs; and a successful
2013 Playford Council Grant application. The Band also had a number of
successful engagements.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>New Items of Uniform and drums:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In mid-2012, the band purchased a new Andante Bass Drum and
two Andante tenor drums. Their acquisition has been beneficial to the sound of
the band, although the learning curve regarding tuning of these new drums has
been a long and continuous one. (this is not a criticism)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since December 2012, members have considered a range of
matters related to the introduction of new items of uniform at a number of
General Meetings called to consider these changes. These matters have included:
removal of hose tops, spats and hair sporrans from the band uniform; the
introduction of Ancient Blue long hose, short sleeve blue shirts and navy
vests; the selection of two styles of dress sporrans (day and evening wear).
The band also purchased new and matching glengarries and glengarry brooches and
bagpipe bag covers for the band.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Members – new, losses and learner program<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the year we have welcomed Monique Seymour (drummer) and
BJ Baird (piper) into the band. We have lost a number of members as well: Craig
Dawson-moved to Canberra; and, James Feeney, David Pound, Leigh Brown; Claire
Brown and Nicole Brown all resigned from the band over related matters.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Members are to be commended for their efforts in recruiting
new learners. Learner Pipers include: Luka, Monique, Shannon and Steve. Learner
and new Drummers include Will, Dan, Matt, Ben and Shahnan. We look forward to seeing
these learners transition into the Band and become active members.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Grants:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The purchase of the new mid-section drums was made possible
by a successful Playford Council Grant in 2011. We have again been successful
in obtaining $1200 in 2013 to purchase a set of bagpipes for use by learners.
This purchase is currently under consideration by the committee.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Workshops for other bands:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The members of the Broken Hill Cameron Pipe Band and the Mildura
District Pipe Band were appreciative of the efforts of David Pound, Willie
Dowie and myself, when we conducted a successful weekend workshop for these
Bands in Broken Hill in April. I had already completed a pipe maintenance
weekend in Broken Hill in January.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The focus of the weekend was on sound and performance. The
snare drummers were all learners. Good progress was noted over the weekend. A
follow up weekend was discussed, but no plans are currently underway. There was
also discussion related to the 3 bands working up some common tunes with the
view that they might combine from time to time for significant engagements.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>Thanks to Office Bearers and Tutor:<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would like to express a sincere thank you to all office
Bearers for their endeavours and efforts over the past 15 months. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The band is fortunate to have capable and conscientious band
leaders. The Band and Pipe Corp has been ably led by P/M Willie Dowie and ably
assisted by P/S Andy Thomson. The drum corp was also ably led by David Pound
until recently and we look forward to seeing the results of Jeff Timmings’ work
in the D/S role in the future. Certainly all the current signs are very good.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would also like to thank Jim Smith for his tutoring of
learner pipers. Jim willingly gives up his time twice a week to tutor our
learners. I know the learners really appreciate his abilities and patience. So
do we! Thank you to Jim!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>2013/14<o:p></o:p></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can now look forward to a period of band growth and
development over the next 12 months. All the current signs are good and we look
forward to seeing a larger and strong band turning out at engagements later
this year and in 2014 and beyond in particular. The band will pass a
significant land-mark in early 2015, marking 50 years since it was formed. It
goes to show that through thick and thin, a band with cooperative and hard
working members can prevail.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<u><b>Introduction: </b></u>It has been a couple of months since the last President’s Newsletter. Members are reminded that the purpose of the Newsletter is to keep members advised on the administration and management of the Band. \ <br />
<u><b><br />Committee Meetings</b></u>: The following matters were dealt with at the management committee meetings in June and July 2012: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A new Band Application form and new procedures have been developed that are compliant with the processes set out in the new constitution;</li>
<li>The band sponsorship document has been teased out and an implementation plan developed;</li>
<li>The Office of Business and Consumer affairs has accepted and registered our new constitution and Public Officer(Jim Smith); </li>
<li>The committee has discussed having 3-4 general meetings of Band members (one of which is the AGM) in a 12 month period. It is important to note, however, that members time and band practice time is precious and so only matters meaningful to the general membership should go to general meetings;</li>
<li>Preparations for the Tanunda Competition have begun. Hannah Mikajlo and Monique Seymour have been recruited to fill known vacancies in October;</li>
<li>The registration of the Band has been renewed with the APBA;</li>
<li>The Secretary is investigating fabric and makers for new pipe bag covers; and,</li>
<li>A fundraising overview has been developed based on the survey of members.</li>
</ul>
<u><b>New Member:</b></u> welcome to Craig Dawson, who has returned to the Band and who was endorsed as a new member during the June Committee meeting. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Band Social Evening:</b></u> a sincere thank you goes out to Steve Moore for his dedicated work in preparing for and putting on the Social Night. Well done and thank you Steve!! The night was enjoyable. Thanks also go to those who assisted Steve in any way, including Kathy and Jason (who have I missed?). Thanks also to members who supported the night and assisted, played and donated raffle items. <br />
<br />
<u><b>The winter mini-band competitions:</b></u> Three competitions, with different formats were conducted at Adelaide High School over the past 3 months. Some additional preparation and rehearsals were required due to the varied formats. <br />
<br />
The competitions were valuable in pushing our preparation for the new competition MSR. We were underprepared for the July competition, but the effort was worthwhile in terms of Tanunda preparation. <br />
<br />
<u><b>Welcome Back Willie</b></u>: members welcomed P/M Willie Dowie back to practice last week. During his 6 week absence overseas, the P/M role was filled by Andy Thomson. The members were appreciative of Andy’s efforts during this time, which included preparation for and performances at two of the mini-band competitions. Well done Andy! <br />
<u><b><br />Learner Piper drive: </b></u>efforts to recruit more learner pipers continue. Newspaper ads proved fruitless. Other avenues are currently being explored. Any members who know of potential recruits, including family members, should try to pursue them. There are now NO vacancies for learner drummers, as the drum corp. has sufficient learners for the available tuition resources. <br />
<br />
<u><b>New Drums:</b></u> the new bass and tenor drums arrived in late June and have since been set-up and are now in use. The drums have a lovely tone and should assist the future sound of the Band. <br />
<u><b><br />Reminder </b></u>- Wearing Band Uniform at private engagements: Members are reminded that they require the approval of the Band Committee to wear any part of the Band uniform at private engagements. A letter requesting permission would be best and it needs to go to a committee meeting, so members need to get organised in advance. Any last minute requests could be considered by the committee at a band practice. Everyone’s co-operation on this matter is expected. <br />
<br />
<u><b>August Committee Meeting – postponed:</b></u> The August Committee meeting was postponed to next week, to allow for the extra rehearsal time for the Social Night. <br />
<u><b><br />Uniform</b></u>: please advise Nic Brown of any issues related to your uniform. Every member should have a full uniform. We are planning to have 2 new kilts made for members in the near future. There must be something good going on with the health of our members, as members seem to be getting thinner and thinner!! <br />
<u><b><br />Engagements:</b></u> please check the diary on the CEPB website, as a number of engagements are coming up at the end of August, including: Gawler Show (over 2 days) and another Munno Para Caledonian Society night. <br />
<br />

<u>The Annual General Meeting - 26 April 2012:</u> It is great to have the AGM out of the way and to have Steve taking up the role of Band Secretary. The follow-up to the adoption of the new constitution has proceeded with the new Public Officer’s name and Constitution being submitted to the SA Office of Consumer and Business Affairs.<br />
<br />
<u>Tenor and Bass Drum Purchase:</u> We continue to await the arrival of these new drums. We have been advised that they are ‘in the pipeline’! I am sure that all of the mid-section players will appreciate the benefits that the new drums will bring to the band’s sound. We will need some volunteers, however, to lead Lis around, when the new bass is strapped on!!! <br /><br /><u>Music and Tunes – priorities:</u> Members are reminded about the priorities set by Willie and David in relation to the competition sets. Members currently not playing these sets are asked to learn them as quickly as possible. The priorities are: <br /><br /> a. The Musical Selection – Glendarual Highlanders selection (5 tunes). <br /><br /> b. The #2 March Selection – Leaving Liverpool Set (4 tunes) <br /><br /> c. Added to this list now is the new MSR.<br />
We will be required to play the MSR from now on, in place of the<br />
selection of marches at competitions. The 3 tunes are: <br /><br /> March – Captain Norman Orr Ewing <br /> Strathspey – O’er the Bows to Ballindalloch <br /> Reel – Miss Girdle <br /><br /> <u>Wearing Band Uniform at private engagements: </u>Members are reminded that they require the approval of the Band Committee to wear any part of the Band uniform at private engagements. A letter requesting permission would be best and it needs to go to a committee meeting, so members need to get organised in advance. Any last minute requests could be considered by the committee at a band practice. Everyone’s co-operation on this matter is expected. <br /><br /><u>Social activities:</u> Dates for 2 social events have been set. They are: <br /><br />a. The CEPB Social Evening at the Elizabeth RSL – Saturday 4 August at the Elizabeth RSL. <br /><br />b. The Band Christmas Party on Sunday 16 December 2012 <br /><br /> <u>Committee Meeting - </u>The following matters were dealt with at the management committee meeting on Thursday 10th May 2012: <br /><br /> <u>1. Band Sponsorship Proposal:</u> Following the adoption of the Band Sponsorship proposal at the AGM, I will be preparing an action plan for implementation at the June Committee meeting. The action plan will consider a staged implementation of the sponsorship proposal and identify prospective sponsors. <br /><br /><u>2. Old Band Uniform:</u> We have purchased large tubs to store the old uniform in. It is all for sale. Any members who want to purchase items should see me about that. They will be stored at Willies for the time being, so a visit to his home would be required for any fitting to take place. <br /><br /><u>3. Band Registration:</u> The APBA registration is now due and it was resolved to pay it. The cost is around $450pa. <br /><br /><u>4. Nomination of New Members:</u> with the adoption of the new constitution, the process for nominating members is slightly different. Nominations are now required in writing, and the nomination is considered by the Band Committee. I am sure that subsequent to that, new members will be welcomed in the band circle at a band practice. Steve is currently developing a new nomination form. <br /><br /><br />Jeff Seymour <br /><br />President <br /><br />City of Elizabeth Pipe Bandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16117034914005177364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978415216995472439.post-65478151545634686542012-05-23T11:26:00.001+09:302012-05-23T11:32:10.540+09:30PRESIDENT’S NEWSLETTER Number 6 (February 2012)<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -18.0pt;">
<br />
<u>Uniform:</u> Over the Christmas break, Nic Brown pursued the purchase of new plain Glengarries and brooches. A range of suppliers were contacted and the total purchase cost of these items was significantly less than initially expected. Thanks to Nic for her efforts and perseverance. David Pound and myself also investigated the remodelling of the leather sporrans. Discussions with 2 leatherworkers narrowed the range of options we had, as most would have proved too expensive. The leatherworker produced a sample which was photographed and circulated amongst the Management Committee for endorsement. The strap and buckle option was fairly inexpensive and was endorsed by most Band Management Committee members. <br />
<br />
<u>Mount Barker</u>: The Band performed well at the Mt Barker Contest last Sunday 19 February. Members worked well toward the preparation and aspects of the results were encouraging. Members were well presented and punctual throughout the day. Thank you and well done to everyone for your efforts. <br />
<br />
<u>Olive Oil drive:</u> The second round of the Auburn Olive Oil drive is being conducted during February and March. The arrangements are the same as the August drive. <br />
<br />
The following matters were dealt with at the management committee meeting on Thursday night 23/2/2012: <br />
<br />
<u>Draft Constitution:</u> Since the last special general meeting on the new constitution, the matter of band uniform and equipment was raised in relation to the constitution (there is a section on this in the current constitution). The committee approved the draft to go to the members at the special general meeting. The draft addition will be moved at a special general meeting that has been called for Thursday 1 March 2012 @ 9pm. The addition has been emailed to all Members. <br />
<br />
<u>Band Sponsorship Proposal:</u> A Band Sponsorship proposal has been prepared. It has a multi level structure (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum sponsors). It is proposed to present this document at the April AGM for endorsement by members. It will be distributed with the other AGM business about 1 month before the AGM for member consideration. <br />
<br />
<u>Tenor and Bass Drum Purchase</u>: The committee resolved last night to purchase 2 tenor drums and a bass drum. The City of Playford Grant will cover about half of the cost of their purchase. The new drums will improve the overall ensemble effect of our musical performance and provide opportunities to challenge our tenor players with opportunities for new and different scores.<br />
<br />
<u>Music and Tunes – priorities:</u> Members are reminded about the priorities set by Willie and David in relation to the competition sets. Members currently not playing these sets are asked to learn them as quickly as possible. The priorities are: <br />
<br />
The Musical Selection – Glendarual Highlanders selection (5 tunes).<br />
<br />
The #2 March Selection – Leaving Liverpool Set (4 tunes).</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -18pt;">
The learning of these tunes will become the focus of Band practice over the coming months. We will still endeavour to learn the 2/4 and 6/8 marches as well, but after these 2 settings! <br />

Even after retiring from the band due to ill health Ray's never been far away though - often a familiar face at both our practices and engagements.<br />
<br />
I've had a quick look back through the photo archives for the band and I've found evidence of Ray being in the band as early as 1976 where he used to play the tenor and as late as 2007 on the bass (see the pictures below).<br />
<br />
On behalf of the band I'd just like to offer Ray our thanks for his recent donation of $100 to the band.<br />
<br />
Thanks very much Ray, and remember you're always welcome to come along and have a hit with us (I'll even hold the drum for you).<br />
<br />

From the Band Management Committee meeting - 6 October 2011 </span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Re. Band Review- Finance and Fundraising</span><br /><br />The purpose of these President’s Newsletters is to keep the membership advised on the main matters discussed and decided at Band Management Committee meetings. This meeting dealt with Finances and Fundraising. There is a general view held within the committee that the Band needs to have revenue sufficient to meet the current expenditure needs of the Band. The Band should not simply run down the accumulated reserves.<br /><br />Therefore, the CEPB has a need to generate more revenue to meet the expenditure needs of the Band.<br />• Fundraising - The view held by the Band Management Committee is that the best way to generate more revenue is to have more paid engagements. Suggestions to achieve this include: more active and direct promotion of the Band; direct approaches to councils, service clubs, sporting clubs and other organisation to include the band in their events; items and advertisements in newspapers like ‘The Messenger’; and establishing a facebook page to complement the website.<br />• Sponsorship - Another way to secure the band’s future finances is through sponsorship. Various options were discussed including a gold, silver and bronze level sponsorship deals. A discussion paper will be prepared by the President as a starting point for sponsorship discussions. You get nothing for nothing! So, we have to consider what we have to offer and what we are prepared to give in terms of appearances, etc to any potential sponsor. Some of our current supporter organisations could be approached to become a sponsor.<br />• Grants – opportunities for grants are very limited. We should apply for whatever and whenever we can.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">2. Band Promotion Brochure</span><br /><br />A basic draft had been prepared and distributed to committee members. This was discussed. It essentially:<br />• promotes the full band, mini-bands and Solo Pipers;<br />• promotes the special winter offer; and<br />• provides contact details for the band.<br />Some suggestions were incorporated and a more finished draft will now be produced, prior to any distribution.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">3. Social Activities with other Bands</span><br /><br />Craig Masson, in the last ‘The Piping Shrike’, challenged all Bands to get more social and to mix with each-other more. We discussed whether the current CEPB social activities, namely the mid-year social evening and the Christmas party could be opened up to visiting bands or similar. If a Band was invited to the social evening and accepted, we may have to alter the format of the night to accommodate their travel and other needs. For example, the night might start with a BBQ.<br />As a starting point, the Band Management Committee resolved to invite the eight Office Bearers of the SA Branch of the APBA to our Christmas Party on Sunday 11 December 2011.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">4. Draft Constitution</span><br /><br />Copies will be distributed to members soon. All members will be asked to provide an email account address to send the draft to, so as to reduce photocopying costs.

Competition - Tanunda</span><br /><br />The Pipe Band contest was held at the sports fields at Chateau Tanunda on Saturday 15th October.<br />The results for the CEPB were second place in both the mini-band contest and the full band contest. Some numbers and comments from the day are: 1st in piping and 2nd in drumming in F/B musical selection; 3rd(both piping and drumming) in F/B March selection; nice set of tunes; nice drone sound; a good performance from the drum corps; great tempo and march on; well controlled; sweet sound; many strong points throughout drumming. Well played with clean execution and good scores.<br /><br />There are things that both the pipers and drummers need to work on to continue the band development. This work will be directed by Willie and David as P/M and D/S respectively. Well done to the four members(Nic, Claire, David and Leigh) who played in a competition for the first time and to the fifth(Aaron) who played in the full band competition for the first time. This performance sets a base-line to build on over the coming months.<br /><br />Well done to everyone concerned for the effort they put into the preparation for the competition and on your efforts on the day.<br /><br />Jeff Seymour<br />PresidentCity of Elizabeth Pipe Bandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16117034914005177364noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-978415216995472439.post-38729797873775468762011-10-16T21:16:00.006+10:302011-10-16T22:09:56.942+10:30Busy weekend.... and a new facebook page.<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:100%;">Hi Everyone,<br /><br />It's been a busy but fun weekend with the Pipe Band contest in Tanunda on Saturday and the Kapunda Celtic festival today!
