Besson Solo and Ensemble Championships - Full Results

Monday 4 February 2019

Another successful Solo and Ensemble event took place on the weekend of 2/3 February in Howden Park Centre in Livingston.
The event was organised by Scottish Brass Band Association with Support from West Lothian Council.
The adjudicator was Sandy Smith and the Accompanist Gena Baker, also a very well presented event over the weekend 
from Damian Martin. Thanks also to Ann Murray and the team from SBBA.

Although a bit disappointed with the number of  entries in the senior event on Sunday, a very high standard of performance
wes given by all, including two excellent Percussion Groups.
