2018 FIRST SECTION NATIONAL CHAMPIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN
|
Oldham Band (Lees) were celebrating last night after being crowned the First Section National Champions of Great Britain. Before the results were given, the adjudicators said there had been a 'clear winner'. This rounds off an incredible year for the band, having already won the Regional Championships and the Senior Cup. MD John Collins said: "I can't believe this. We've been to the Nationals 6 times before, and come 2nd on three occasions. To win on such a challenging piece, playing the way that we did, with every single member of the band giving 100% on stage today was everything I have worked towards over the past 14 years. I couldn't have asked for any more

from my players, either in the lead up to this contest or in the performance itself. I can't describe what this means to me and to Oldham Band".
Paul Hindmarsh, who arranged the test piece, later tweeted "Many congrats to all at @OldhamBandLees for a splendid account of King Arthur by Britten to take the 1st Section win this evening. Privilege to hear my brass version played so well. Thank you".
