Quiz
  See if you can get all the answers and the festive saying right to win the fantastic quiz prize

Time to out your thinking caps on if you are going to be in with a chance to win a fantastic slightly late Christmas present thanks to our friends at Besson and Band Supplies.

Prodige cornet

There is a Besson 'Prodige' cornet, plus a set of four cornet mutes, a box of valve oil to keep your band's instruments going during the weeks of rehearsal to come and some music ideal for a youth band to play if you get all the questions right.

It's a prize package worth over £600 — so what better way to start the new year of 2022.

In an additional twist to help you though — the first letter of each right answer will make up a nice festive saying.
