The current Action Medical Research Entertainment Champions Elland Silver Youth Band are starting to put the final touches to their concert programme which they will perform as part of the entertainment at the Brass in Concert Championship in Gateshead next weekend.

Under the baton of inspirational MD Samantha Harrison, the young players will perform on the main auditorium stage on the Saturday afternoon and again prior to the announcement of the results on the Sunday evening.

The MD told 4BR that excitement levels are at a high already!

"You could say that! Everyone is looking forward to playing at such a prestigious event and we have really worked our socks off to provide some pretty spectacular entertainment ourselves."
