Whit Friday

Posted on: 01 June 2010

We competed in the Whit Friday contests on Friday May 28th.

Unfortunately we didn't get off to the best of starts as our coach got stuck in traffic and we were late setting off from the bandroom.

We eventually competed in 5 contests, Lydgate, Friezland, Greenfield, Stalybridge Celtic and Hurst Cross. We had a great night out, and enjoyed bumping into friends across all of the different venues, a special treat was seeing Disney Brass at Friezland, and we definitely recommend you search them out on YouTube.

We are still awaiting a full breakdown of results but from the good news we are hearing is that we won the best 4th section band at Friezland contest, coming 9th overall, so a great result there for us.

Once we have a full list of results we will post them up so you can see how we did.
