Camborne Junior Contest Band, directed by Alan Pope, had yet more success at the weekend, competing in the West of England Bandmen's Festival in Bugle. The contest was adjudicated by Cory MD Philip Harper, who composed two of the test pieces used on the day, whilst presentations were made by the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, Colonel Edward Bolitho OBE, who also enjoyed the competitive atmosphere.The talented youngsters of West of England Fourth Section Area champions showed that they are in cracking form ahead of their trip to Cheltenham, as they ended runner-up in the Third Section from a performance of Gilbert Vinter's Vizcaya.
The band certainly enjoyed their Bugle appearance, as earlier in the day they won the Fourth Section title thanks to a lovely rendition of Eric Ball’s Petit Suite de Ballet, aided by the excellent ‘Best Player’ contribution from euphonium player David Wilton.
