Elland Silver Youth, Training Band and Starter Band recently presented their annual summer concert in spectacular fashion.

Full house

Playing to a full house at the Brighouse Civic Hall, parents, friends and the Mayor of Halifax were treated to a brass extravaganza by 80 young musicians belonging to the organisation.

From the young performers, aged 7 to 21, from the beginner’s group to the 40 strong youth band, certainly enjoyed the opportunity to entertain their audience.

Thanks

The Mayor later stated: "Thank you for inviting me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the concert. It’s so wonderful to hear and see so many talented young people enjoying making music together."
