Congratulations to our percussion team: Lesley, Tris, Conor and Ian. They scooped the trophy for Best Percussion in the Championship Section of the Wychavon Festival of Brass.
The band was delighted to place 10th out of 20 in the Championship Section with our Norwegian-themed programme. We may have been slightly less delighted to place 13th out of 17 with the same programme in the First Section. That’s banding!
Special mention also for our soloist, Vicky Finlay, who impressed the adjudicators in both sections with “lyrical” and “very articulate” playing.
There will be no resting on our laurels. This week we will be busy preparing for Remembrance Day, with our usual combination of hymns before and during the service at Stretford Cenotaph followed by a short informal concert at the John Alker Hall in Flixton.
Adie Smith is our Musical Director.
