What a fantastic day in Stockport it was on the 25th March, as the Youth Band became British Champions in the Performance Section of the National Youth Band Championships.
Huge congratulations too to Osian Maloney for winning the Soloist Prize.

4barsrest.com said “Seindorf Ieuenctid Beaumaris … celebrated as they secured the Performance Section honours led by MD Peter Cowlishaw. A band that has once again emerged [from] … its cyclical loss of young players to work and university will now look to build on this success over the next few years.”
The report went on to say: “Led by Peter Cowlishaw, Seindorf Ieunctid Beaumaris gave adjudicators Jack Capstaff and Andrea Price and a packed audience a performance thoroughly deserving of the title and the Gold Award that came with it. They opened with the bold sounds of ‘Fanfare for a New Age’ before principal cornet Osion Maloney gave a super rendition of Peter Meechan’s ‘Apex’ to claim the ‘Best Soloist’ award. The Welsh passion of ‘Sospan Fach’ and the fun of the Bruno Mars hit ‘Runaway Baby’ rounded things off.” See the full 4barsrest report here.
Members of the band said: “Can’t believe it. Last week was great but now this. We’ve always worked so hard to keep producing young players and this shows that there is so much talent that can be unearthed and developed in North Wales.”
They added: “Our thanks go to all the teachers, families and people who support us. Now we’ll head home and watch the football on the bus on the way.”
