It is with deep sadness that we learnt of the passing of our dear friend and bandmate, Hayden Dare. A cherished member of our youth brass band from 2000, and later senior band, Hayden brought not only extraordinary musical talent but also a spirit of kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity.
We will not forget those early days, piling into Deano’s van with the Goldsmith, Hunt and Segovia boys, picking up Hayden from his home in Mount Rumney, with his mother often farewelling us with cookies for the trip to Glenorchy. From his first rehearsal to his final performance, Hayden was larger than life, with a big smile, enthusiasm and dedication. He was the kind of person who was passionate about music, friendly to all, was always lending a hand, and who encouraged others.
Though his time was far too short, he will be remembered. Hayden, you will always be part of our band.
