The Brass in Concert champion, the co-operation band will put the final touches to the programme that it will be perform in defending its title in Gateshead this weekend with an open rehearsal on Thursday 12th November.
You can enjoy a sneak preview of 'In Blue' inspired by composer George Gershwin and his iconic 1924 composition 'Rhapsody in Blue' at Sherbrooke MossPark in Glasgow (G41 5AD) with doors opening 8.00pm — so don't be late.
Gershwin challenge
Set in New York in 1924, it explores the story behind one of the most significant moments in American music, when Gershwin was challenged to compose a ground-breaking work that would bring together the worlds of jazz and classical music.
Band Manager Alan Douglas told 4BR: "This is a great opportunity to hear our programme ahead of Gateshead — especially as the contest is sold out.
'In Blue' offers character, colour and fantastic music, so please come along and enjoy it. If you can't come make sure you don't miss it by signing up on Wobplay to watch it live broadcast on the day!"
The band is also delighted to acknowledge the support of the Cockaigne Fund, administered by Foundation Scotland, whose funding has helped make the commissioning of new music for the programme possible.
