  Unite the Union is looking for a Fourth Section Cheltenham qualifier to complete their line-up

The Unite the Union Band is looking for some help to complete their playing line-up ahead of their appearance at the National Finals at Cheltenham — although it's not for their forthcoming contest stage performance but an open night preview feature of test-piece renditions from bands taking part in the event.

Fourth Section

Unite are already joined by Worsborough and Shirland Welfare on Sunday September 10th at the Niagara Conference Centre, Sheffield (S6 1LU) but are looking for a Fourth Section band to complete the line-up.

Remarks

Each band will perform their National Final test-piece in front of the audience and will also receive an adjudication commentary and remarks from the highly respected conductor, composer and arranger Leigh Baker.
