‘Marching Band Activity United Kingdom’ celebrates 3rd anniversary
Marching Band Activity United Kingdom (MBAUK) is celebarting its third anniversary today. MBAUK is an online area for anyone that loves music and marching to share positive stories and to share information.
Founded by John Butler in May 2013, MBAUK now has a combined Facebook and Twitter following of approaching 10,000. In 2014, MBAUK partnered with Thurrock Marching Brass to attempt a new World Record for the Longest Fanfare Line using valved instrumentation. An attempt that saw success in setting a new World Record on Sunday 6th September 2014.
Also in 2014 the charity Autism Plus contacted Marching Band Activity United Kingdom in regards to their social enterprise Mayfield belllyres, since then many connections have been made through the charity including the launch of an Instrument Campaign, helping to connect music to autism users with many instruments already being donated.
Always looking for new and exciting ways in which to promote all that is good about music and marching a new web site has been created to start to share connections and contacts from across the United Kingdom and to create a central pool of information that is really useful for everyone to tap into. Band lists and locations, trusted suppliers, local and national events across the UK all form part of this ventral pool of available information.
As part of the promotion of good work that everybody does, MBAUK runs, amongst many other campaigns, marching band awareness and weekly recruitment campaigns for all groups, and uses its increasing reach to share that information with the wider audience. This doesn’t just stop at the Facebook, Twitter or website areas as they have also started to open up channels through local and national radio stations.
The team consists of John Butler (founder), Paul Morgan (since 2013), David Harvey (since 2015) and Eddie Burridge (since 2015).
