What a day at the North East Areas! 🎺🎶From early starts to that final note on stage, here’s a glimpse into how our contest day unfolded … and what a result to top it all off!🥇Best 4th Section Band🎺 Best Principal CornetWe couldn’t be prouder to represent Driffield and showcase the talent which the local area has to offer.This one feels especially meaningful as we remember two much-loved members of our band family, Denise and Mal. They were both very much in our thoughts throughout the day and we hope we did them proud 💚This really was a team effort from start to finish - well done DSB, let’s do it again soon! 🏆 ...

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our euphonium player and chairman, Mal Kellett. Mal was a huge part of our band family not just as a player but also as the one who quietly kept everything running behind the scenes. From the countless unseen jobs to the announcements at the beginning of rehearsals, Mal dedicated more time to the band than we may ever realize. Mal will be remembered for his sharp wit, unmistakable humor and always being ready with a comment that could lift the mood of any rehearsal. Of course, many evenings didn’t end until we met with Mal in the Cross Keys pub where he kept the laughter going. Mal was more than a band member, he was a dear friend and a huge part of our band’s heart.Our thoughts are with Mal’s wife, Liz, his daughters, grandchildren and extended family. Mal was truly one of a kind and he will be deeply missed by all. ... See MoreSee Less

‘Twas the night before the Areas, when all through the band,Not a cornet was quiet, not a mute in a stand….For the first time in our ~250 year history, tomorrow we take the stand at the North of England Regional Areas Contest.Music’s packed, instruments polished and uniforms ready.But more than anything, we’re incredibly proud to represent our band, our community and the legacy we have built over two and a half centuries.Whatever tomorrow brings, it’s already a historic day for us - and we can’t wait to give it everything we’ve got.Wish us luck! 🍀🎶 ...
