2012 Contesting Season Ends on a High Note!

On Saturday 1st December the Verwood Concert Brass A Band took a trip down to Weymouth for the 56th Annual Winter Brass Band Contest run by the Wessex Brass Band Association.  Rather than having a set test piece, bands could choose a test piece to play and in addition also play a march. Verwood chose "Essay" by Edward Gregson as its test piece and "Castell Coch" by T.J.Powell for the march.  The Band played well and did themselves proud by coming 2nd out of the 1st section bands contesting and being placed 3rd overall. Hopefully this bodes well for more good results in 2013.
