It’s only 2 weeks until the band takes part in the National Qualifiers for the first time since 1969. This marks the first step in the 10 year plan in which Pendeen Band is aiming to become a top second section band by 2022.

As part of the preparations for the contest the band are stepping up a gear with additional practices along with two evening concerts during which the band will show off the test piece.

On Wednesdays the 27th February and 6th March the band will be performing at Pendeen and St. Just Junior schools respectively, and the test piece will be played during these concerts.

And on Friday the 8th March the band will be holding an open rehearsal in the band room as the final polish is given to the last run through.
