” After almost a 10 year absence from the contesting scene, the ST BREWARD SILVER BAND took part yesterday in the South West Brass Band Championships at The Riviera International Centre at Torquay.

We were playing in the fourth section as an “ungraded band ” but up against other bands from the South West

When the results were announced, we won the ” best  ungraded band ” award AND placed 2nd overall. What a great result for all concerned, even more so for Tom Howard – our Musical Director – as it was his very first contest in which he was a conductor. All band members are extremely happy and surprised with the result too!

What next you may ask ? Many questions will need to be asked before we committ to another such event going forward More info from Band Secretary Mike Rowe 01208 73655 mkrowe@hotmail.co.uk  https://www.stbrewardsilverband.org/
