hi matt i think harrisons dream was used in the champ section for either the areas or finals not so long ago, maybe 5 or 6 years ago, so i dont think they would use that, plus i think it made an appearance in the euros aswell, good piece though year of the dragon for 4th section would be...

i'll get slated here, but i aint sure if the host city should be able to field its own band in its own contest this contest is pretty well run on the whole, its had 1 of the most musically knowledged guys on the planet as the adjudicator, and its very much a venue which is a challenge to play...

New Era, New M.D., New Times for Huddersfield and Ripponden Brass Ensemble! After a solid performance and an unlucky result and outcome at Bradford, we need a couple of players to come and complete our team as we have plans to hit the 4th section contests by storm this year Our area...

GUTTED! is just 1 of the words to describe how i feel after this mornings result hudds n ripp were happy with how they performed today, but could only muster 4th funnily enough the 3 bands who beat us were the 3 bands who i didnt get to hear, bands 1 and 2 (maltby and linthwaite) and the...
