The Band lead the march from St Michael's Church to the Memorial outside
the Heritage Centre in this the 100th year since the outbreak of the
first world war.
The Last Post was played beautifully by Sophie Howes.
VCB earned themselves a fantastic result at
the 68th Annual Championships of the South West Brass Band Association
held on Saturday 1st November. Not only did they win the special award
for the highest placed First Section Band but also won the contest out right. Fantastic!
VCB traveled down to the Riviera Centre in Torquay to take part in the
'Open Section' of the contest which is for Championship Section and
First Section Bands to compete in. It was an 'Own Choice' event meaning
each band could choose a test piece to play. VCB's choice was 'Spectrum'
by Gilbert Vintner.
The band had a long wait before competing,
having been drawn last to play but on the upside this meant there was
less time to wait for the results. But no matter how long the wait may
have been they were absolutely worth waiting for. What a great result
for the band.
Big congratulations to everyone in achieving this fantastic result.
