The Dronfield Genquip Band is looking forward to once again proudly representing Yorkshire at the Cheltenham National Finals.

After appointing Damian Wileman as MD last year, the band has gone from strength to strength, with the podium place at Huddersfield not only securing their fifth National Final appearance, but also gaining them promotion to the Second Section in 2019.

The band also has a busy year ahead with a tour to Belgium planned in August, where they will perform at a number of prestigious engagements including the Last Post Ceremony in Ypres4BR

Thrilled

Damian told 4BR: "I'm absolutely thrilled with the result and the outcome. Everyone has worked so hard over the last few months and they really deserve this.

We're now looking forward to representing Yorkshire in Cheltenham in September and to the challenge of the Second Section in 2019."
