Five Area test pieces in one night!

Peel Hall in Salford is set to hold a North West Area taster session with a difference — with all five test pieces being played and judged on in one night.

Winter Gardens
 

Peel Hall in Salford is hosting a North West Area contest prequel event on Thursday evening, when five bands have asked to be informally adjudicated upon in the final stages of their preparation ahead of the Regional contest at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens on Sunday.

Sitting in judgement

The experienced Malcolm Brownbill has offered his services and he will cast a critical ear over the performances.

All five pieces

It all starts at 7.30pm with the Fourth Section contenders Besses Boys under James Holt as they perform John Golland’s ‘Prelude, Song & Dance’, before ‘A Little Light Music’ will be performed by Third Section competitors Eccles Borough led by Mareika Gray.

Flixton will be led through the Second Section set work, ‘Resurgam’ by Steve Curtis, before Rainford will give a contest preview of the First Section work, ‘Carnival Romain’ under Neil Samuel.

The evening starts at 7:30pm at Peel Hall, The Crescent, Salford4BR

And to round things off, the current English National Champion Fairey (Geneva) under Russell Gray will perform ‘Paganini Variations’.

The evening starts at 7:30pm at Peel Hall, The Crescent, Salford, M5 4WT.

Entrance is free and all are welcome.
