We've just kicked off the Regional qualifying season here in the UK.
My band, Foden's, won their 10th Area qualifier in a row with this performance of Martin Ellerby's 'Elgar Variations'.
Link here if anyone wants a listen (only recorded from the audience).

Re: Brass Band contest time
Listened to this recording many times over the last couple of days.Stunning playing,especially the tuba section.We in this part of the world have no idea of how difficult this genre of music is to play.

Re: Brass Band contest time
That’s why, I only play in brass bands. The music is unlike anything else.
Good luck to you as Foden’s moves on. 🩷
