Horbury have returned from this years area contest with an air of disappointment.
After being drawn 4th, We took to the stage in high spirits. Unfortunately we did not play as well as we could have done on the day and came away with 8th place. The adjudicators felt tempos had been far too quick and the piece required more 'space'. However on a positive note, we have consolidated our position in the second section for next year.
Thanks to everyones commitment in the last few months, lets hope for better luck next year

Brass band website 4barsrest.com have put Horbury Victoria Band down as the dark horse for tomorrows second section competition in bradford. Last time Horbury were predicted as the dark horses we galloped away with the victory. Could the same be true of tomorrow? If it is, we'll have to beat some big bands including favourites Old Silkstone and Strata Brass.

The final concert of the year, Horbury Methodist Christmas concert. The Church hall was packed to the rafters and the senior band did not disappoint. Playing under the baton of Duncan Beckley the band played a fine selection of carols and Christmas pieces. Special thanks must go to David Holdsworth who provided a highlight of the night when he joined the band on Bagpipes to play the Highland Cathedral. The evening was a success, enjoyed by everyone. Well done band.
