The competition season concluded on Sun 31 August up at the amazing venue in the shadow of Chatsworth House with the band finishing 5th in the G4 Marches, 3rd in the G4 MSR and 3rd in the G3 Medley. With very strong competition from G4B City of Plymouth, two G4A bands, Laidlaw Memorial and RATAE, and G3B City Of Manchester, plus many other excellent G4B bands, this was a great result to end the season.

The band also had our best ever result at the World Championships two weeks before.

The competition band played this year in the following competitions:

• 27 Apr – Indoor mini-bands, Gordon’s School
• 18 May – Jim McGinn memorial – Indoor full-bands, Luton
