What an achiement and impact we made on the Leeds area in 2023.
‘Did you know that the official recorded attendance at The Drovers Brass Band Marching Contest last year, our first year was 2350.
In the 33 wards which held events Wetherby attracted a number that in the whole city placed us 6th, a very creditable achievement’ said Ward Host Kazia Knight.
‘We always saw the inaugural event as our ‘Stepping Stone. The support and skills in dealing with all the ‘permissions’ learned, gave us, Bandstand Trust and Lions, a confidence to leap into 2024’
It seems this has indeed proved the case - The organisers have had success in dealing with the challenges of getting road closures, insurances and threading the routes to grant applications with sure steps.
Well done - we all look forward to Sunday 9th June and the sight and spectacle of 18 Brass Bands coming together for a free show for the public
