The Ambassadors Showband Derby is a Marching band based in Derby, England recognised across the globe. ==History== The band formed in September 1979 when the 11 founder members held a meeting at the house of Keith Holbrook in Briar Close, Borrowash. By the end of the meeting, the structure of the new organisation, as well as a constitution, had been agreed. Stuart Henson drew up the constitution, which had been agreed, and the Borrowash Band Fund was opened at the Midland Bank. The opening balance of £11 was the donation of £1 from each of the Founder Members. To these people we are eternally grateful. At a committee meeting in January 1981, the name of the band was added to the constitution. The band may well have been called The Skyliners but after much debate the name, Ambassadors of Borrowash, was chosen. The band joined the CBSL (Carnival Band Secretaries League) in the fall of 1981 and the performing members were equipped with uniforms. The first public performance came on 10 July 1982 in a contest at Allestree where the band came last. This trend was to continue for the rest of the season as they gained confidence and experience. Whilst entertaining the public at various fates, gala's and shows the band continued to improve in contests until on 25 June 1983 they achieved their first Win in competition. The contest at Duffield saw the Ambassadors secure first place with 77 out of 100 points beating the Rangers of Derby and the Derby Regalia who tied for second place with 76 points. The band had been invited to take part in the 2005 Birmingham Tattoo. long side bands such as The Band Of her Majesty's coldstream Guard and many other. The band played to a croud of 6500 on the first day and 8000 on the second. This has got to be the biggest event that the band has ever taken part in During 2007/ 2008 the band went through one of its hardest time's it can remember. Membership was down and the band struggled like so many to keep going, only the determination of the members of the band managed to push there way through 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ambassadors Showband Derby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
