The Oldham Band (Lees) were victorious in the 2nd Section at Pontins making it their 4th win at the competition in the last five years.
The piece was 'Danceries' by Kenneth Hesketh and gave the band a chance to showcase some fine solo playing from all our soloists. Special mention must be made of Toni Heywood on Flugal Horn whose fantastic performance was a key feature in the success. Credit must also go the percussion section (Holly Raynor, Jordan Hall, Adam Parkinson and Roy Farrell). Danceries contained a huge amount of percussion and our young team tackled it extremely efffctively.
This contest is the bands last contest for this year and rounds off perfectly another successful year for the band who continue to go from strength to strength.
The band will be competing in the 1st Section next year and are looking forward to another successful contest season in 2010.
