Promotion and a Trophy
Amersham Band won first prize at the recent fourth section contest at Stevenage.
Not only did the band come away with the top trophy, but also promotion to the third

The
adjudicator commented that the band’s performance of English Folk Song Suite by Ralph
Vaughan Williams was a clear winner and praised the ensemble playing and great band
