Elland ready for Sage action

The talented youngsters of Elland Youth are looking forward to their entertainment spot in Gateshead.

Elland Youth
 

The current Action Medical Research Entertainment Champions Elland Silver Youth Band are starting to put the final touches to their concert programme which they will perform as part of the entertainment at the Brass in Concert Championship in Gateshead next weekend.

Inspirational

Under the baton of inspirational MD Samantha Harrison, the young players will perform on the main auditorium stage on the Saturday afternoon and again prior to the announcement of the results on the Sunday evening.

The MD told 4BR that excitement levels are at a high already!

"You could say that! Everyone is looking forward to playing at such a prestigious event and we have really worked our socks off to provide some pretty spectacular entertainment ourselves."
