The band chose this weekend to show off some of it’s many talented soloists. Angela Houghton, the bands 1st horn, took the first spot with her maiden solo with the main band playing Misty.

This was followed by another new soloist to the band, Adam Albinson who normally plays front row cornet but this time took to the Post Horn for a rousing duet version of the Post Horn Gallop with Soprano cornet Louise Crane, also sporting a post horn for the occasion.
