A Disappointing Day...

A long day at Bolsover Festival of Brass, starting with a rehearsal at the venue at 1.30pm, our performance (Draw No.4) which didn't start until after 5.30pm and the adjudication which didn't happen until after 8pm.

Whilst our performance wasn't perfect, we certainly didn't expect the Last Place (7th out of 7) that adjudicator Alan Morrison gave us, especially as audience members had us placed much higher, in fact one experienced adjudicator (who happened to be sat in the audience) had us in 3rd Place.

But that is Brass Band Contesting for you... the results are based on the preferences of one man, so we shall move on and look forward to next weeks contest at Wychavon where hopefully we will receive a far more favourable result.
