Huddersfield
  The Yorkshire Area contest takes place in Huddersfield on the weekend of 2nd/3rd March

Elland Silver Band will be hosting a Yorkshire Area preview this weekend.

Advice

Each band will also perform a hymn tune and a concert piece, after which the experienced Mike Kilroy will provide some helpful advice to help the bands in their final week of preparation for Huddersfield.

Elland Silver Band Secretary, Kathleen Harrison told 4BR: "We are looking forward to welcoming our banding friends and to hear their performances on the test-pieces.

We hope everyone will enjoy the evening and that the bands will go on and be successful at the Area contest.
