Becontree Brassband

Becontree Brass Band took part in the London and Southern Counties regional contest on Saturday 15th of March, and came a disappointing 10th.

Becontree Brass Band took part in the National Mineworkers Open Brassband Contest in Butlins this weekend, and were placed 11th out of 24 bands. The band scored 181 points, and are delighted with this achievement. The test piece - "The Plantagenets" by Edward Gregson - was not technically challenging, but rewarded musicality and ensemble playing, and the band's performance emphasized those areas. 

Becontree Brass Band, together with the Ripple School Choir, performed at the Barking Salvation Army Hall on Saturday night to a packed house.
