Cory MD, Philip Harper is returning this week to host the latest Brass Bands England (BBE) Development Programme Online (Thursday 11th June, starting at 7.00pm (BST)).

His topic on this occasion is, 'How to lead a great rehearsal' and follows on from his hugely enjoyable 'What on Earth is my Conductor Doing?' webinar presentation.

Sign up

There is sure to be something here for everyone to get to grips with, so make sure you sign up to the zoom webinar at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/9215882779877/WN_IefGtRjMQOmn4vW2e8kF3A

There are only 100 spaces.

This is one of a popular series of BBE webinars held during the Covid-19 crisis, which seeks to delve into elements of the BBE Development programmes.

Get involved

Philip's session will take place on a Zoom webinar for those who want to get involved and ask questions directly, as well as being available as a Facebook live video on the BBE Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/brassbandsengland

All the workshops are free but BBE is asking participants to consider supporting the Brass Bands Emergency Fund. 100% of donated funds are used to support bands struggling during the crisis with ongoing freelance costs and other financial commitments, and has so far raised over £2,100.

To support the emergency fund, go to https://www.chuffed.org/project/brassbandemergencyfund.

The fund is also able to accept gift aid to make your donation go further for those bands that could not normally use gift aid. New Moon Insurance Services will be matching all donations between the £2,500 and £3,000 mark meaning your donation will go further towards supporting bands at this time.

Get the most out

During the session, Zoom attendees will be able to ask questions sent in via the registration form. The workshop will begin with a short presentation on how to use the Zoom platform effectively to get the most out of the workshop while participants get used to the set up before starting at about 7.10pm.

One of the most popular aspects of the sessions is the invitation to come to the 'BBE Pub', to join in conversations and discuss topics of interest.

Philip's session will mark the 12th week of BBE Webinars which have had excellent reach (over 10k views for some videos).

Ask questions

The workshops will be delivered online using the Zoom webinar platform so attendees can interact and ask questions throughout the session directly.

The session will also be available on Facebook live on the BBE facebook page https://www.facebook.com/brassbandsengland and BBE facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/BrassBandsEngland/ for which users can sign up to for free.
