Hazel Grove Brass Band

Hazel Grove brass band managed to wow the socks of the adjudicator this weekend at buxton, prompting him to ask… “Are you sure your in the right section?” This is now the second time in a row we have won Buxton and also our fourth consecutive win.  Another Brilliant Win for Hazel Grove Brass band!

After last years dissapointing 19th place the band went from zero to hero with a spectacular win at the North West Area Regional Championships in Blackpool on 14th March 2010!

The band are now looking forward to their trip to the national final in Harrogate in September where they will be one of three bands representing the North West in the fourth section.

Thanks to everybody who attended the quiz night making it an excellent night and raising a fantastic £1157 for the band’s forthcoming trip to Harrogate!

…and well done to the winners; The Brian Buckley Fan Club

The band emerged victorious in the Fourth Section, taking first prize after tackling a difficult test piece by Benjamin Tubb.

Here’s what 4BarsRest, the Brass Band Website, had to say:

“The winners, Hazel Grove produced a fine performance that was clean, neat and musically shaped by MD, Nigel Beasely. With the basics in place they were able to explore the style of each of the three movements safe in the knowledge that they could play their technical aspects of the piece well. The second ‘Pier’ movement in particular was especially effective. The result was a performance of quality and merit and one that fully deserved to take the first prize.

There was a clear cut margin between the winners and the two bands who eventually pushed them closest for that first prize.”
