School life: Students get chance to play with national brass band champions
Brighouse and Rastrick were recently crowned the National Brass Band Champions of Great Britain for the tenth time in their 137 year history and the concert provided an ideal opportunity to display the huge and prestigious trophy.
Their concert was a Christmas Concert with our Wind Band and Guitar Ensemble performing as special guests.

We played some of our repertoire, including a selection from ‘Wicked’ and music from’ Frozen’ and the Guitar Ensemble played favourites including ‘In the Bleak mid-Winter’ and a modern take on ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin.
The entire band really enjoyed it; it was great to have the opportunity to play with the world famous band and great to share the occasion with Brooksbank School.
