Rothwell MD set to return to Norway.

Roberts
 

After successfully directing Sandefjord Brass Symposium to victory in the First Division of the Norwegian Championships in Bergen earlier this year, Rothwell Temperance MD Dave Roberts has accepted the invitation of the band to return once more in 2011.

Dave will lead the band as they return to the Elite Division in Begren and told 4BR that he is looking forward to the challenge.

To see what it meant to the players made a great impression me, and so I'm delighted to be able to come back and work with Sandefjord once againDave Roberts

Return

"I'm delighted to accept the invite," he said. "It was great to win with the band on 'Eden', especially as they showed just how good they were on such a difficult test piece. To see what it meant to the players made a great impression me, and so I'm delighted to be able to come back and work with Sandefjord once again."
