Shirland
 

The Shirland Welfare Band is celebrating 15 times over after their young players came home with a hat full of prizes at the recent Leicestershire BBA Solo Contest at Groby.

Massive entry

There was a massive entry of 130 performers on the day, but despite the numbers, the players did their band proud with no less than 15 prizes to celebrate.

And it all started with 10 year old bass trombonist Rosie Glossop, who won her section, followed by individual prize winners, Jon Harvey, Tara Sheppard, Hollie Minney, Catherine Ashley, Lewis Squires and William Thirkell.
