The band has accepted an invitation to take part in the "All England Masters International Brass Band Festival" which takes place at the Corn Exchange, Cambridge on Sunday 25th May.
Considered one of the best international contests the band has stepped in at the last minute due to one of the competing bands having to withdraw.
"It is a great honour to be asked to compete at the masters and the band did not hesitate to agree to take part." states Band Manager Simon Archer. "It is however extremely short notice giving us only two weeks to prepare rehearsals and the obvious logistics that go with such an event. Members of the band have dropped everything and re-arranged their diaries in order for them to take part; such is the commitment of our players. We of course acknowledge the sacrifice that their families also make to allow this to happen and wish to thank them all."
The invitation to play at the Masters follows on from intense rehearsals for the Senior Cup last weekend where the band was awarded third place and the best soloist prize.
The band last competed at the Masters in 2001,2002, and 2003. This year see the band compete against twenty-one bands from England, Wales, Scotland, Switzerland, France and Belgium.
It's all go at Jaguar!
