The Band continued to consolidate our position as a First Section Band with a creditable performance of Eric Ball’s classic test-piece, ‘Journey into Freedom’, at the Buxton Festival yesterday. In a strong field that combined Championship and First Section bands we placed fourth overall and were delighted to win the trophy for top-placed band from the NW Region.
In addition, there was a surprise for our Band Manager, Paul Thomason, who was presented with a long-service award. Despite his youthful appearance Paul has been playing in bands since 1971. He first joined Flixton in 1992 and has served nearly 10 years as Band Manager.
