Highland Brass competed in the National Brass Band Championships on the 8th March 2014 at the Perth Concert Hall.
Scottish banding’s long term investment in grass roots banding was seen in full bloom in the Fourth Section, where a wonderful field of 14 bands took to the stage to perform ‘Three Spanish Impressions’ by Alan Fernie.
A melodic and moving performance gained us a very respectful fourth place in our first ever contest.
