Regional Competition
Woo hoo! We came 5th in the London and Southern Counties Regional Brass competition! We're all thrilled with this result.
Our hard work every week from the New Year paid off and we gave a solid performance of Olympus by Philip Harper.
We were even lucky enough to have an evening with Philip in February where he conducted, gave some feedback on our performance and gave us an insight into his thinking when he was composing the piece.
