Northop Silver Band Wins
First Section National Championship of Great Britain 2024
What a fantastic few weeks for Northop Silver Band. It was an absolute joy to be involved at The British Open in Symphony Hall, and then to be crowned 1st Section National Champions in Cheltenham, where we are delighted to have secured our promotion back to the Championship Section.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us to make this possible, including Flowers Band for their great rehearsal venue.
​
Special mention to Tom Wyss and Martin Heartfield for preparing the band and a huge thanks to Erik van de Kolk and Mark Peacock for conducting us so superbly on stage for both events.
​
We have welcomed new guests to the bandroom, and we now regard them all as lifelong friends (Oliver Ridley, Wouter Zuidam, Ed Cervenka, Jan Bradley and Helmer Bijl). We also have some players who are now leaving us to start their further education. Good luck and thank you to Steph Jonas (Principal Cornet), Lydia Gilkes (Cornet) and George Hughes (Bass Trombone).
​
We return to the bandroom in October to prepare for a busy concert schedule and Wychavon Festival of Brass.
Congratulations to Principal Euphonium, Aled Williams,
for winning the Best Soloist prize
at the National Finals in Cheltenham.
We hope you can join us for our Christmas Concert!
Wychavon Festival of Brass
The band was pleased to be placed 3rd and won Best Percussion and Best Baritone prizes. Thanks to Ben Coulson for conducting the band and congratulations to the prize winners!
