Now that the dust has settled since the West of England Regional Finals in Torquay, the Bristol East & Kingswood Band have had time to reflect on their win at in the Second Section.

The result capped a fabulous year for the band and justified all the hard work done in the band room over that period.

Worked hard

MD Jon Griffin told 4BR: "We felt we would be in with a shout as we worked so hard on the basics and really applied ourselves to the music, making sure things were ready for Roy Curran when he came down to the band two weeks before the contest."

The band now look forward to the finals at Harrogate in September.
