Championship Section beckons for 2015!

​Filton Concert Brass are delighted to announce that it has been crowned the 2014 First Section Champion Band of Great Britain!

“It’s been an amazing year for the band,” the winning Musical Director, Tom Davoren told 4BR. “Filton has very specific aims and objectives that make it unique and attractive to players who want do something different. We are very much a project band in fact.

​It’s something the founder Jim Scott wanted to encourage and it’s something we are determined to carry on in his memory. We had our sights on the Area title earlier this year and then decided to aim for the Nationals. Now we plan very carefully how we want to approach life in the Championship Section.”

Tom added: “Even though we practice once a week, the commitment from the players to what the band wants to achieve is 100%. I love that different, innovative approach - and I think the players do too. That’s why we can go out on the contest stage and take the risks that can pay off.”

Congratulations to all contesting members and the management team that lead the band to victory.
