Their programme of 'Silverado', the tuba solo, 'Capriccio', 'Romance', 'March from Jazz Suite', 'Against All Odds', 'Welsh Echoes' and 'It Don’t Mean A Thing' was more than enough to fend off the chalenges of Newtongrange under the direction of Alex Knox and Kingdom Brass, conducted by Craig Anderson.

1. Whitburn (A. Duncan) — 195pts
2. Kingdom Brass(C. Anderson) — 190pts
3. Newtongrange (A. Knox) — 189pts
