Pendeen on top

Pendeen Silver Band recently came out on top at the Truro Contest.

 

Pendeen Silver Band had four players making their contesting debuts at the recent Truro Contest.

The band has been undergoing a rebuilding process of late and saw the contest as an ideal opportunity to test their progress against other local bands in the Fourth Section. .

Everyone enjoyed the experience of contesting again and under the baton of Musical Director Steve Wearne the future of the band looks very bright indeed!Chairman, Jonathan Keverne

First and last

Pendeen, who state they are 'the first and last band in England', due to their geographical position, were delighted to be awarded the highest placed Cornish band and also second place overall.

Chairman, Jonathan Keverne commented to 4BR: "Everyone enjoyed the experience of contesting again and under the baton of Musical Director Steve Wearne the future of the band looks very bright indeed!"
