Scots Perth preview

Ther eis a chance to hear four of the five set works ahead of the Scottish Championship if you can get along to Motherwell.

Perth
 

With the Scottish Championships in Perth fast approaching, the Co-operative Funeralcare Band has announced that it is hosting a test piece preview evening to give people a chance to hear four of the five set-works performed on the day.

Thoughts

In addition to performing in front of an audience, the bands will be given the thoughts of the vastly experienced adjudicator Nigel Boddice MBE.

"There's no substitute for performing in front of an audience,"said Band Manager Martin Stack. "This is a great opportunity for the bands involved to feel what it's like to play with a little drop or two of adrenaline thrown into the equation."
