Flowers Gear Up For Butlins

The Flowers Band start 2010 with a trip to Skegness on the weekend of 23rd & 24th January when they return to compete at the Butlins Mineworkers Championships. The contest is held over two days with bands performing the set test piece on the Saturday before performing a twenty minute entertainment programme of their own choice on the Sunday. The winners are decided by the highest aggregate over the two days of performances and will receive the biggest cash prize in banding, a cheque for £7000!

The band last made the trip to the Lincolnshire resort in 2007 where they came 4th and 2006 saw them being crowned Butlins Mineworkers Champions with an aggregate of a first place on the set test piece for that year (St Magnus) and a second place in the Sunday entertainment contest. This year’s set test is a new commission from the pen of the highly talented Black Dyke percussionist Paul Lovatt-Cooper, entitled Sleepless Cities. At the time of going to press, we don’t as yet have confirmation on the bands competing at the championships, but we will bring you this information in due course.
