Saddleworth Band Contest Update.
8 Answers
It was a really good night. We saw Brighouse, Black Dyke, Faireys, two Swiss bands and one from Denmark, amongst others. The great news is that my granddaughters' band, Rochdale Youth Brass, won the overral youth contest, beating the reigning European and Saddleworth Champions, Wardle Youth Academy, who spent their time showboating with their championship banners and failed to enter enough venues to qualify for the overrall prize. Each band must play at 6 venues to qualify, but Wardle only managed 5. In fairness, they are a brilliant band with really top young players and a treat to listen to, but the parents and the players themselves are so obnoxious and arrogant, it doesn't lend anyone to them for that. They actually won all the 5 venues they played at, which was no surprise, but they didn't have enough venues. Rochdale Youth won 2 venues and came 2nd in another 3, plus a deportment prize at Lees. They entered at 8 venues and had the best qualifying score to win the Youth Championship. A great result for them.
