A bit of a disappointing result for the Band today, coming 9th in a combined section contest (2nd, 3rd and 4th section former colliery bands). However, the Band enjoyed their performance of MacArthur Park, Sandpaper Ballet, I’ll Walk with God and Jubilation.
Sandpaper Ballet, the Band’s entertainment piece, was well executed and received featuring Peter Neill (2nd Cornet), Elinor Williams (Percussion) and Christian Jenkins (Conductor), playing sandpaper blocks!! Adjudicators comment “It’s still a classic!”

No rest for the wicked though as the Band has to rehearse hard for their next contest in Burry Port on Saturday, 8th October 2011. Back to it chaps!!
