These are video recordings of the band competing in the marching competition in Halesowen. The piece performed was Star Quality, an arrangement of Disney music arranged by our muscial director Nick Coope.

These are video recordings of the band performing in the concert competition in Manchester. Only 12 of our members played in this competition and we were awarded a Gold Award with Distiction. The pieces performed were: Theme from The Muppet Show, Gabriel's Oboe, Maybe Tomorrow (an arrangement of music from the musical 'Annie', Flower Duet, Trumpet Tune from Charpentier's Te Deum, Sousa's Washington Post, The Policeman's Lot and 'Hit It'. All music was arranged by our muscial director Nick Coope.

Way back in the mists of time the band recorded a CD of music that we'd used in competitions over the years, as well some of our other music. The CD, "Competitive Edge", didn't have room for all the music we recorded that day, so a tape of the rest was made for each band member. This was known as "Trailing Edge".

More than ten years have passed since that time and only about 5 of the members who recorded the CD are still in the band. Since demand for the CD is unlikely to increase we've decided to put all the music from both the CD and the tape on the site - mainly for former members who visit to be able to listen and laugh at the mistakes we made.
