Whit Friday Marches - Rode Hall Silver Band

Friday 24th May 2013
This last Friday was the Annual Whit Friday Marches, up at Oldham and Saddleworth.

And our band competed as in previous years.

This year I was on the 3^rd Cornet Team and we all played the march, though rotated on the contest march as the rules only allowed two 3^rd cornet players.

Our 3^rd Cornet Team – Mike, Niamh and me

After a drenching on our first march the weather settled and we played at 9 venues.

Our results placed us ? No Overall Results yet!

Here is a You Tube link to our march and contest playing. [ link]

We came 40^th Band here at Grotton – the location that Sue Perkins conducted at in the TV programme?!
