The Band on Contest Day

Solid show
Another solid show brought a 6th place for Weymouth Concert Brass, whose performance 4BR really enjoyed. Everything sounded controlled (due to the sensible tempi chosen by MD Adam Glynn), the cornet soloist was on great form and the band’s trombonist was the only one on the day to capture the true style of the solo in   the third movement. 6th place could have been even higher on another day.                                                   Rob Richardson
