March & Hymn Tune Contest 2021
Lindley Band enjoyed their first trip to the contest. A not too taxing road march and a lovely amphitheatre to play in, all administered by your friendly band.

March & Hymn Tune Contest 2021
Many thanks for the details and photo’s. I’ve never been to Darwen before but your welcome pack covers everything – brilliant.
It’s the best pre-contest information I’ve received in 29 years as contest secretary.
I’ll circulate it around our band.

March & Hymn Tune Contest
We had a fab day at Blackburn and Darwen March and Hymn Contest today ! It was our first time at the event and it was great to see so many bands taking part. We're really pleased with our 7th place overall and top placed band in 1st section. Congrats to winning band Hepworth and a big shout out to the youth band at B&D for entertaining everyone before the results. Hopefully we'll be back next year on a day with a bit more sunshine!

Balderstone Band
“We thoroughly enjoyed our first attempt at contesting alongside our friends at Chorley Silver Band and although we didn't get any trophies we still think we did OK for two little community bands - especially seeing as some of our players haven't even been playing a year! It was a fab day out, beautifully organised by Blackburn & Darwen Band.”
