We achieved first place in the third section at the Bugle Band Championships in Cornwall at the weekend playing the tricky Suite Gothique.
Not only that but our principal cornet won the award for best player in the section!!
Opposite are our lads Jon and George with the trophies.
What a great day we had and we must say a massive thank you to our deputy players Ray Kingdon, Nick Megson and Alex Parsons, our MD Mark Durham and of course the whole band.
Also thanks to Luke from Streets Coachways for getting us all there and back safely.
Here’s our youngest player Millie celebrating our win and her first contest yesterday.
If we want to sustain our band (and of course we do!) and others like it we must recruit more budding musicians like her.
Did you know we have a training band for this purpose which welcomes all comers irrespective of age and ability? Why not give it a go or get your youngsters interested?
