Rounded off

The band rounded off the evening by playing the hymn tune Colne with the final verse sung by the band in what is now becoming a traditional aspect of the Band's rehearsals.

The decision was made to grade the band in the First Section and their details have now been added to the list of registered bands for the West of England Regional Championships.
