It was exciting to see a brand<br>new event in the North West where the brief was to captivate the audience with an imaginative and engaging programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Held at St Michael\u2019s school in Chorley, the band were drawn to play last in the 3rd Section. This was a great draw as many members were able to head up to Chorley early and watch<br>some of our friends in other bands and also the top section where there were some fantastic performances on show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a programme featuring Chuck Corea\u2019s \u201cSpain\u201d, Traditional piece \u201cLondonderry Air\u201d and concluding with Steven Ponsford\u2019s \u201cServants of God\u201d the theme was linked to pieces from around<br>the world with the band also hunting for a soloist for the last piece. The adjudicators enjoyed this and awarded us the prize for the Most Entertaining Band as well as finishing in Third<br>Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With all entertainment contests the band must perform a solo. Our Solo Cornet Player Sam Barnett played the solo \u201cLondonderry Air\u201d with class. He showed off his lovely tone and showcased why he has picked up the bands player of the year award. Not only was Sam our soloist for the day but he sat<br>Principal Cornet for the contest at a moments notice due to illness. <br><br>The band also picked up the prizes for the Best Cornet section and the Best Flugel and Horn Section. Leading to two more trophies for the collection.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" data-id=\"406\" src=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3-1024x769.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/hawkgreenband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Red-Admiral-1.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Admiral Entertainment Contest: A Showcase of Brass Band Talent was one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the 2024 Brass Band calendar.
