The Andover Town Band triumphed by winning the Training Band Section, with Adam Large presented with a Gold Certificate for his stunning solo item on the soprano cornet. Later in day, in the Ensemble Section, the youngsters of Andover Town Band pulled off an incredibly innovative and entertaining performance, also gaining the 1st place prize. To compliment these prizes , the band was also awarded the Best Hymn Tune Performance of the Day. The whole day was an exciting experience for all the youngsters and adult learners, and rewarding too for the dedicated team of trainers.
