Website Launch http://youth.fodensband.co.uk
 To keep ‘up to date’ and make use of social network sites ‘Foden’s Youth’, as we call ourselves, have also become regular posters on sites such as ‘Twitter’ and ‘Facebook’ and now have our own very popular pages! Through these sites we hope to encourage many more youngsters to follow Foden's Band and the Youth Patrons.
The web page has some great articles, photographs, competitions, a shop, ‘tips from the top’, and many other exciting features. To ensure we constantly produce what the youngsters want to see, we have even formed a ‘working party’ made up of Young patrons themselves. The first Working Party, held very recently, had the fun task of approving a new logo for the Youth side of things. The logo was designed by one of Foden’s Bands partners Wright’s printers from Sandbach.

We're Playing Your Tune.
Throughout its rich history Foden’s has been associated with some of the most talented composers and arrangers, building a reputation for performing new and innovative music.
Today, Foden’s have the privilege of working with Andy Scott, a talented musician who lives in Sandbach a recent winner of a prestigious British Composer Award, who has already composed a number of exciting pieces performed by Foden’s. Two of Andy’s pieces have been performed at the January Festival of Brass, the tuba concerto written for star Eflat bass player Les Neish “Salt of the Earth” and “A World Within” dedicated to Foden’s President, Peter Fletcher. Also Andy arranged a number of Stevie Wonder arrangements which have featured at many concerts such as the Brass in Concert contest and latterly with pupils from Sandbach School.
