Cambridge brass band boffins need your vote!

The brainiest brass banders in the land need a little help to get their hands on some much needed funds.

Cambridge University Band
 

Cambridge University Band has reached the final round of the ‘Instant Impact’ University Society Video Competition.

And in order for the band to win much needed funds they need to gather as many ‘likes’ and views as possible on from their youtube video before the 5.00pm on Friday 21st November.

Support

Publicity Officer Matthew Waterson told 4BR: “As the only brass band through to the final round (and the only music group), we would be very grateful for support, so please have a look and give us your vote!

It should be an entertaining watch and, as an added bonus, you get to see the committee of the band looking faintly ridiculous around Cambridge!”

As the only brass band through to the final round we would be very grateful for support, so please have a look and give us your vote!Publicity Officer Matthew Waterson
