Silver lining for Regent Brass

Regent Brass celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

Regent Brass
 

Regent Brass of the London & Southern Counties regional area celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

From its roots in the Brent Youth Brass Band, Regent has grown into one London’s most succesful bands, and this year will head to Harrogate after qualifying for the Lower Section National Finals.

#pqEight times

It will be the eighth appearance in their history and has ensured that the band returns to the Championship Section in 2011.

More recently they secured a second place finish and 'Best March' prize at the SCABA Entertainment contest.

Social event

As part of the 25th year celebrations, the band is hosting a social event for current and past members on Saturday 5th June.

Any previous players that have not received an invitation and who would like details should contact Darryl D’Costa at darryl_dc@yahoo.com.
