Following their appearance at the Yorkshire Area Championships in Bradford, where they came 4th in the Second Section, Strata Brass has parted company with David Hirst, their Musical Director for the past seven years.

Thanks

Secretary Paul Wilkinson commented to 4BR: "The band would like to place on record that the decision was reached by mutual consent.

We would like to thank David for his commitment to the band which has achieved an unprecedented amount of contest success, particularly in the entertainment field winning nine titles also being placed on several other occasions."
