Results: Macclesfield Slow Melody

There was a great turn out of young brass talent in Macclesfield recently as young stars were strutting their stuff.

 

Macclesfield Youth Brass Band held its inaugural slow melody competition last Sunday at Morton Hall, attracting competitors from its youth, junior and beginners sections aged from 7 to 18 years.

Thanks

Special thanks went to Sarah Johnson, flugal horn player with the Vernon Building Society Poynton Band who adjudicated all ten classes.
