This weekend the band was awarded runner-up prize in the the Midland area regional brass band contest held at Bedworth Civic Hall and will now be one of two band representing the Midlands at the National Finals on the 20th October at the Albert Hall in London.
The test piece on this occasion was Derek Bourgeois 'The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea'. A notoriously difficult work testing all members of the band.
