Preston Results

08:47:41 pm, Categories: Contests  

Today the band entered Brass at the Guild - an open contest held at the Guild Hall in Preston. The band drawn number 2 and played Lydian Pictures. Despite a performance which greatly improved on that of 2 weeks ago at Butlins, the band finished out of the prizes. The adjudicator’s remarks were very positive and the band enjoyed the experience.

The contest was the first in a while for Natalie McLean, who has returned to the band on cornet after a period away. It was sadly the last for a little time for Percussionist Christine Boyd, who is now off to ’see the world’ for the next 7 months and will miss our contest and concert season.

The band is now busy preparing “Four Cities Symphony” for the nationals in March. The band will be working with Colin and also are excited to be working with Graeme Tindall, the hugely popular and successful conductor of Felling Band.
