Prodige cornet prize

Speaking to 4BR, Ronnie and Ann Tennant said: "The banding movement never ceases to amaze us with its positivity and determination. The way in which everyone continues to work to develop brass banding at all levels is a real inspiration to us — and so this prize is a just a little thank you from ourselves and our friends at Besson."
