Quality on show at scottish championships

Updated: Apr 2, 2022

Saturday 12th March saw Granite City Brass take to the contest stage to compete in the first section with the classic, but testing, Spectrum by Gilbert Vinter.


The band has had a fantastic run up to this contest, and that showed with a final result of 3rd position, 186 points and all individual awards for the section. Our Principal Euphonium player, Lewis Catto won the SBBA Best Instrumentalist medal and our Solo Horn player, Rosie Martin won the Thomas Macaulay Memorial Trophy for Best Horn.

Solo Horn, Rosie Martin & Lewis Catto, Best Instrumentalist

The judges remarks stated that section 'Green' (which was the slow melody section featuring Allan Wilson (Principal Cornet), Alan Haggart (Soprano Cornet), Rosie Martin (Solo Horn) and Lewis Catto (Principal Euphonium)) was their highlight.


The band thoroughly enjoyed the preparation and are now looking forward to continuing to rebuild post-covid.
