I was there
2nd section was won by Langley Band
Interesting adjudicator blurd at the end of the contest. Said the winning band made his job easy and was streets ahead of the others. Well directed and well led by the principal cornet (well done Dave)
He commented on the others as being more difficult to place, and criticised the choice of pieces, balance and tempos.
Controversially, he said that the first two bands in the 4th section earlier in the day would have held their own in this section.......
