Congratulations to Bari Gwilliam and all the band for a brilliant performance at the 2023 Welsh Regional Championships in Swansea on Saturday!
The band achieved second place in the First Section competition, which means they qualify for the National Finals which are due to be held over the weekend of 16th/17th September at Cheltenham Racecouse.
All the first section bands played the test piece ‘A Day in the Life of a Knight’ composed by Philip Lawrence. Adjudicators were Dr Robert Childs and Alan Morrison.
4barsrest.com said “Ebbw Valley and Beaumaris were … ‘on their own’ in terms of quality” and went on: “[Beaumaris] took another significant step in their rejuvenation under conductor Bari Gwilliam with a performance of vibrant character to return to Cheltenham for the fourth time in five years.” See the full 4barsrest report here.
