A few people were a bit unhappy about the song choices to try and cover. Everyone in the group has different music tastes, which is a great thing but difficult to find a happy medium for playing in a band together.
We have decided to move this project to next year, or the end of this year. Instead we are running Jamming sessions every Thursday and other open night by request. The jamming was the most enjoyable part of this project, and it also gives people the chance to musically gel with others, then potentially think about building a band.
We will keep people posted on the progress of Jam sessions and let everyone know when we are ready to run the Build-a-band project again.

Roots Project 2011
Roots / Back in the day project is getting the current generation of youth to look through our files of old pictures and projects and scan it, then the staff will type a brief bit of news about it and blog it. Whilst the youth can find some current news and photo's and blog it next to the old news to compare we we are 10 years later. It's similar to the bygones page of the Belper news and should be a lot of fun doing it. It will also show the current generation of youth how we started up over 10 years ago

Build-a-Band wk2 - Jammin'
Drum Marathons, then added bass lines, with Keys and Guitar. The second session everyone really enjoyed, just having an extended Jam session.
There was some disagreement on what to try and cover, but everyone worked it out and covered a couple of tracks. Everything is sounding pretty good so far.

Out The Box Festival 2011
Setting up our tent on arrival. There is still loads of work to do from this point.
The JamCorner with some of the Nano Peeps from Bearded Theory Festival
Looking across the tent from the JamCorner you can see the 3D Bird Jigsaw and right the other side you can see a P.A system set up with more art created by Adie. The other art piece was some levitating boxes to represent out the box influences. When finished it looked a small but very intriguing tent.

2011 Marketing Campaign
Work has begun on our 2011 Marketing Campaign. We have never really done one, but are going to try. The idea is to tie all the amazing idea's and projects we have done and are doing this year and then promote them better.
The organisation is taking some great new directions which is changing the face of it again, while keeping the focus back on the Youth in our community. Hopefully this Marketing Campaign will be fun to create, with the idea's coming from our current young people, which will be giving most of the information and content to put into it. This will hopefully attract even more young people in the future, and also get the positive work the Young people have done noticed to a wider audience.
