Kippax in 9th place at Bradford
07/03/10 08:32 Filed in: News
Kippax recorded a slightly disappointing 9th place finish at the ‘Areas’ in Bradford, with an uncharacteristically ‘edgy’ on-stage performance.
Some fine Solo playing, notably from Nigel and Faye was the highlight of the day, but ‘clips’ in the ensemble left the Band with a feeling of ‘what might have been’ had we taken our rehearsal form on stage. Despite the lowly placing Kippax should comfortably retain its 1st Section status but will be looking for an improved result at the 2011 area, which is the only contest on which a Band’s grading is based.
Our next contesting outing is scheduled for the 1st weekend in May where we go to Buxton with an ‘own choice’ test piece looking to make amends.
