Midland Areas 2009 Bedworth Town Hall
 |
The Area competition this year was one of those days when all went well. We won, retaining our title for the first time since 2003! All in all we felt it was a good day’s work and a fitting reflection of the bands hard work and talent. Russell Gray was to direct us in “Salute to Youth”, a fitting tribute to our talent if not our ages, and we set off to work with great gusto! Our run up was one of the best we have had recently. There was good attendance and we made excellent progress in each rehearsal. Come the day of the competition we were pleased with a great draw, 17th. Having had a final run through off to battle we went. The performance came and went with a few apparent slips and lapses but never the less our quality shone through. Nothing detracted from the overall impression and despite leaving the “performance” in the band room we had the result we wanted. We would like to thank Russell for all his hard work with the band and look forward to working with him again in the future.
