Hathern’s Main Band under the baton of Musical Director, David Newman took part in the Midlands Area Brass Band competition at the weekend (12.03.11). All 18 bands in the 1st Section were playing the extremely challenging test piece Carnival Romain by Berlioz.

Since the beginning of the year everyone has been working very hard, putting in many hours of extra practice. This dedication and determination certainly paid dividends when the Band was awarded 2nd place.

Hathern will now represent the Midlands Region at the National Brass Band Championships on the weekend of the 24th & 25th September 2011 in Cheltenham. (Publicity Officer L Haworth)
