With two shows at the Gaiety, a brass band contest and two concerts with the Isle of Man Symphony Orchestra and Isle of Man Choral Society it's been a busy time! The Douglas Choral Union production of Young Frankenstein was another great success for the society. It was a shame that more audience didn't support the production, as it is a hilarious show which was very well produced. It was then back to rehearsals for Manx Concert Brass' preparations for the 1st section test piece for the North West Area Contest in Blackpool. This was to be my contest debut on 1st baritone! off the dreaded Number 1 draw, the band played very well and were successful in qualifying for the 1st Section National Finals in Cheltenham in September. Their result also secured the band's promotion to the Championship Section with the likes of leading North West bands such as Foden's, Fairey's and Leyland Bands!
