What a great day for VCB at the West of England Regional Contest.

Saturday March 12th

Verwood Concert Brass competing for the first time in the Championship Section got their campaign off to a solid start with a respectable placing of 9th.

Based on this result, Verwood Concert Brass is now THE BEST BRASS BAND IN DORSET, so many congratulations.

Congratulations to Flowers for their 5th regional win in a row and to Woodfalls and Aldbourne for the 2nd and 3rd placings respectively.


As for Verwood Town Band - they achieved their best ever result (to date) being awarded 5th place in the fourth section. A fantastic result having played 1st in a massive field of 20 other bands.

This result when added to the two previous years results means the band is also ranked joint 5th overall in the fourth section, giving great encouragement to continue improving with an eye to gaining promotion to the third section in due course.


Congratulations to Hatherleigh, Cheltenham and Lydney for their top three placings and to those bands that gained promotion this year.

Onwards and upwards!
