Preparations for Ebbw Vale and Weston

Gareth Ritter has begun working with the Band in preparation for the upcoming contests in Ebbw Vale and Weston-Super-Mare.  The band has had to rearrange a few rehearsals to fit in with various schedules but this is a fairly small price to pay for the services of a very experienced and gifted musician.

Gareth will be playing with Buy As You View (Cory) in the upcoming European contest so the band have also secured the services of Eric Powell who has agreed to take the rehearsals while Gareth is absent.

The Band is looking forward to getting back onto the contest stage after the disappointment of Swansea where the band were placed last but one.  We are competing in the Second Section in Ebbw Vale and in the Third Section in Weston.

The second section at Ebbw Vale is likely to be:

Blaenavon Town
Gwaun Cae Gurwen
Llywdcoed
Ogmore Valley
Penclawdd Brass
Pontypool Brass
Ynyshir Stacks of Tiles
