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.
