On Saturday 12th October the band took part in North West Area Brass Band Association’s Rochdale Competition held at Wardle Academy.
We really enjoyed performing George Lloyd’s fantastic English Heritage in the Championship Section. We placed 6th out of a strong field of 11 bands. Thank you to all the organisers and volunteers who made the event run so smoothly.
