2014 saw us win the National Championships for the first time and tour to Spain!
We made history in 2014, we claimed the first national championships victory in the band's history and kickstarted a "golden era". To date we have won every National title since 2014 - that's 8 in a row at time of writing (2023)! As there was no contest in 2020 & 2021 due to covid, we have now held the title of Champion Youth Band for 10 years!
Before this though we competed at the National Youth Entertainment Championships in Blackpool, a favourite for the band where we finished in third place.
During at least one concert from our tour, Chris Jeans manages to entice an unsuspecting audience member to take his baton and conduct the band! Here's the band playing I will follow him with a lady plucked from the crowd! She really enjoys it far too much! Watch for the moves in the big tempo change!
