There was a fine turn out of bands and crowds at the recent Beaumont Park March Contest.

Enjoyable day

An enjoyable day was had by all with the weather perfect for the event, where a large and appreciative audience enjoyed the entertainment provided.

In the end it was Elland Silver Band who gave themselves a nice boost ahead of their Cheltenham National Finals appearance as they took the honours from adjudicator Barry Thompson.

Radio coverage

Radio Leeds was also there on the day to make recordings for the Yorkshire Brass programme hosted by David Hoyle.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "The Friends of Beaumont Park committee are hoping to make this an annual event with an increase in prize money."
