The Kibworth Band has thanked Ted Smith for his outstanding service to them in his role as Band Manager.
The Kibworth Band has announced that after many years at the helm, the highly respected Ted Smith has decided to retire from the day-to-day Band Manager role of running the band.
1945
Ted has been involved with Kibworth since 1945 when he first joined on cornet, and has spent a considerable number of years as Band Manager, enjoying many successes, including the National First Section Championship title in 2006.
Thanks
A spokesperson told 4BR: "Everyone involved in the Kibworth Band would like to go on record and express their thanks to Ted for his commitment to us over many years.
Although he will still be around supporting the band through its busy programme, his hard work behind the scenes will be greatly missed. Ted has now been appointed as one of the band’s vice-presidents and a concert is to be given in his honour later in the year."
