The Band performed Gilbert Vinter’s Symphony of Marches at the Blackpool Winter Gardens yesterday. It marked our return to the First Section at the NW Championships and we were delighted to consolidate our position in the Section with a top-half finish, placing 8th.
The performance on stage was possibly our best run through in what had been a busy week. In particular the featured soloists – Harvey on soprano, Jess on horn and Danny on euphonium – all played stunningly. Our MD, Matt, also drew praise from the adjudicators for musical shape and style.
Our congratulations to the winners, Rainford, and runners-up, Boarshurst, who will represent our Region at the National Championships. We wish them every success.
Adie Smith is our Musical Director.
