Spring Serenade a success
Our recent Spring Serenade at St Martins Church Brighouse on the afternoon of 27th April was a huge success. The concert was very well attended and both bands provided popular music thoughout the afternoon. We had a retiring collection after the concert to support both the band fund and Overgate Hospice and we are delighted that this raised £500 of which £250 has been forwarded to Overgate. Thank you to everyone who supported the concert and to the band for providing the wonderful music.

At the regional qualifying round on Saturday in our section the two top prize winner are invited to the finals. We competed against 9 other Yorkshire bands. We were awarded 2nd prize which meant we had gained the coverted prize of qualifying. With the band being consistant over the last three years at the contest with a third placing in 2022, a second placing in 2023 and now another second placing in 2024 we will be promoted to the second section in 2025.
