The quartet, whose members are also linked with Stockport Schools Band and the National Youth Brass band of Great Britain, competed against some of the finest youth Ensembles in the Country and its prize is to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in the Schools Prom in November.

The quartet, coached by Fairey FP (Music) Band's flugel horn player, Neil Hewson, played Thomas Wyss' arrangement of Purcell's Rondeau from Abedlazer and a five-movement piece entitled 'Suite for Brass' by Mike Davis.

The school was also represented in the Big Band category, where the school swing band, directed by renowned band conductor Simon Stonehouse, performed. They gave an excellent account of themselves and all associated with the school are extremely proud of the students work.
