As Oldham Band (Lees) prepares to take a well-earned summer break, 2018 is already proving to be a momentous year. Highlights of course include their emphatic win in the 1st section North West Area Championships in February, followed by victory in the Senior Cup, and promotion to the Grand Shield, at the Spring Festival in May. Two weeks later, the Whit Friday Band Contest saw Oldham Band finish an impressive 3rd place overall, missing out on 2nd by the narrowest of margins. All this has helped Oldham Band reach 64th in the world rankings, another outstanding achievement.
On top of this Oldham Band has still found time to put on a concert of swing classics with guest vocalist Matt Corrigan, move into a new band room, and be chosen as one of the charities promoted through the Co-ops' Local Community Fund. Click on the link below to find out more about this initiative and how you can support the band.
The band will have a few weeks off before preparations start in earnest for the National Championships in Cheltenham in September. MD John Collins said: "It's been an amazing year so far for the band. I think we are all ready for a rest, but I can't wait to get to work on the National Final test piece!".
