Foden's solo and ensemble reminder
WITH the competitive season well underway, budding solo and ensemble players have been reminded to get their entries in for a prestigious contest organised by Foden's Band.
The event, which enjoys support from Besson and Audi Macclesfield, is due to take place on October 31 in Sandbach School, Sandbach. Categories exist for players aged from 11 and under through to adults with classes for slow melody, air varie, tuned and untuned percussion, as well as duets and quartets.
Adjudicators are Florent Didier, MD of Paris Brass Band; Owen Farr, Besson artist; Helen Williams, Cory Band; and Simone Rebello, a renowned percussionist also of the Royal Northern College of Music. There is a new Vintage class with a trophy for the winner, donated by Lyndon Baglin, and an additional prize by Glyn Williams for the most outstanding euphonium player.
