Smithills Schools Senior Band and their MD, Chris Wormald, will be making their eighth appearance at the Royal Albert Hall Schools Prom later this year

Delighted

And not surprisingly, the 2008 Outstanding Performance Award, 2009 Peters Edition Award and 2010 Allianz Award winners at the National Festival of Music For Youth are delighted to return once more to perform at the iconic venue.

Our head teacher Chris Roberts is ecstatic. It's just reward for the incredibly hard work by everyone involvedMD, Chris Wormald

Very special

Chris Wormald told 4BR: "This latest invitation in November caps another fantastic year for Smithills. Recording with Sir Terry Wogan, performing the 2010 NABBC Conference Concert, our joint concert with Black Dyke at the RNCM and now another London Schools Prom invitation as a result of our latest Symphony Hall success is very special. Our head teacher Chris Roberts is ecstatic. It's just reward for the incredibly hard work by everyone involved."
