What a weekend for the Hepworth Band as they finished 6th out of 19 bands at the finals of this year’s National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at the Royal Albert Hall.
The Holme Valley-based band gave a performance of the set work ‘Symphony in Two Movements’ to be proud of, earning praise from the adjudicators and a fantastic reception from the audience.
Band manager Yvonne Embury said: “We’d like to say a really big thank you to everyone for all the kind comments and support.
“A special thank you to Reliance Precision Ltd for their generosity in helping us with the cost of the coach and to everyone who supported our fundraising events to help us on our way.
“A huge thank you to our music director Ryan Watkins for all of his hard work and musicianship.
“Congratulations to this year’s champions Desford Colliery Band, and to all the other prize winners and competitors for a day of fantastic performances.”
