Middleton Band have recently returned from Butlins Mineworkers Championships where we gained a \u00a0top 6 result with a very respectable 5th place out of 17 bands in the second section. The band were very pleased overall with their performance, a little disappointed perhaps that the result was not higher but enjoyed the weekend nonetheless and have taken away some valuable pointers from the adjudicators comments. The band were also mentioned in live twitter feeds by several tweeters on the day, here are our live comments from All4Brass<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The band would like to formally welcome Sophie Anderson to the ranks. Sophie has joined us on 2nd trombone in time for the area contest in Blackpool.<\/p>\n The band still have a couple of vacancies for rep and percussion which we will be looking to fill after the area.<\/p>\n The band are gearing up their preparations towards the North West area contest at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool on Sunday 9th March. The band will be playing Chaucer’s Tunes by Michael Ball in the second section contest which will be held in the Pavillion Theatre. The band are enjoying rehearsing Chaucer’s Tunes and are looking forward to the contest where we are hoping to improve upon last year’s 4th place.<\/p>\nNew signing!<\/h2>\n
