In case you missed it, here's the Youth Band's performance of that fantastic march, Death or Glory, which was our contribution to the Foden's Band online Whit Friday competition. Normally we'd be looking forward to playing this and other classic marches for our good friends at St Wilfrid's Church Grappenhall this weekend ... hoping to be back with them in 2022!
Our wonderful training band were very proud to be one of 119 bands from 13 different countries to take part in Foden's Band online Whit Friday contest. Many thanks to them and MD Seth Livingstone for all their hard work on this rendition of Dingley Dell.![]()
