Spring contest, Crawley

 

The band entered the Spring scaba contest at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley on 28th April. Our Musical Director, Robin Langdon, was unable to attend the contest and we were led by Matthew Milnes for which the band is very grateful. In this contest each band is required to play two pieces, a march and a test piece. We chose Kenilworth by Edwin Firth as the march and The Shipbuilders by Peter Yorke as the test piece. Unfortunately there were no prizes this time, coming 4th in the march and 7th in the test piece.

Three in a row
