Bideford Town Band Qualifies for the 2025 National Brass Band Championships!
The band is pictured after the awards ceremony at Torquay’s Riviera Centre on Saturday 8th March.
In 2022 the band put Bideford on the National brass banding map by qualifying for the National Championships held at Cheltenham Racecourse in September of that year, and finishing as runners up out of about 16 bands.
This year, they’ve done it again! By coming 2nd out of 17 bands in the recent West of England area championships held in Torquay on Saturday March 8th, they will once again be headed to Cheltenham to represent Bideford Nationally!
One significant difference is that the band is now safely positioned in a division above which just goes to show the amazing progress it has made under its Musical Director Mark Durham.
If anyone would like to support the band by sponsorship for what will be an expensive trip, or indeed at any time, please get in touch via our website at www.bidefordtownband.co.uk or via our Facebook page, Bideford Town Band.
