We are always pleased to receive comments on our performances. Here is a selection:-
"The evening was a great success thank you very much, due in no small part to the fantastic music provided by your band.
Please pass on our thanks to everyone that took part and we will most certainly bear you in mind for the future.
All the very best and Season's Greetings,"
"I would just like to express my personal gratitude for the playing of the band on Sunday morning.
The accompaniment was exemplary superb tempo and above all not too loud (I used to conduct the Remembrance Service
with a local band playing - always way too loudly) but the YRI players found just the right tone. Everyone
connected with the band should be very proud of their musicianship. Once again thank you for making such a
grand contribution to the worship"
"Just writing to say how much we all enjoyed the bands performance on Sunday. Whilst the venue for the Month of Sunday Concerts
is a lovely one, the temperature in the sun was unbearable and still the band gave us a wonderful concert. Needless to say,
we will be asking you to play for us again soon.
It is great also to see a band so well turned out!"
"Please pass on our thanks to Derek Warley and the members of York Railway Institute Brass Band for making our Sunday afternoon
in Howden so brilliant. Having loved brass bands from being a very small boy it gave me particular pleasure and my wife, Marilyn
equal pleasure in listening to quality musicians playing quality music.
With my kind regards,"
"May we express our appreciation and that of those who attended the superb concert on the 9th May 2009.
To Derek for a varied, entertaining and enjoyable programme and to the players for such a polished performance."
"Christmas seems a long time ago now but people are still commenting on just how much they enjoyed the band at our
annual carol service...by huge popular request we would love you all to come back and play for us again."
"Just to say a massive thank you to all band members who made our wedding day so special! The music was
perfect and everyone really enjoyed it."
"We would like to thank the York Railway Institute Band for helping to make our wedding such a memorable and
enjoyable day. We thought you sounded magnificent and all our guests commented so positively about them.
It really did make our day."
"I wanted to write and thank you and the band for playing as guests were arriving for the Enjoy England
Awards for Excellence. You all looked great and the music provided a lovely festive atmosphere for our
guests...music was much appreciated and a great success (as was the whole evening)."
"Everyone enjoyed your excellent concert and we sincerely hope you will come again this year."
"We would like to say thank you to everyone who took part in the York Community Carol Concert.
As always you entertained superbly before, during and, indeed, after the concert...a feat of stamina itself!"
"The carol concert was an outstanding success, everyone loved it and felt it was the best we had ever had.
The band and the music were just perfect. Please thank everyone for making it such a special and memorable
evening and I do hope we can do it again sometime."
"I would like to thank the band members for coming to play for the service users at Christmas.
I know it is a busy time for all of you and we appreciate the fact that you went out of your way
to come to the centre. Everyone really enjoyed the morning."
"Once again we enjoyed an extremely good Trafalgar Day Parade due to the excellent playing of the band,
which we all appreciated...I do hope you can pencil us in for next year."
"Sincere thanks to you all for a splendid evening, please book again next year."
