Rehearsals for the Butlin's Mineworkers' Open National Brass Band Festival began in earnest straight after Christmas. The test piece for the 2nd Section was an arrangement by Frank Wright of Granville Bantock's The Frogs. The Band travelled to a bracing Skegness on Friday 20th Jan for the contest on Saturday 21st. The 11th place we got was disappointing, but as they say, "that's banding!" On this occasion the frog did not turn into a prince.

We finished off the year as usual with a number of Christmas concerts. The first one was an afternoon providing festive music at Clumber Park. A rather wet afternoon did not dampen the spirits of the Band and we got the Chritmas season off to a great start.
We were invited once again to be the guests of Mexborough Male Voice Choir at their annual Christmas concert in St Margaret's Church Swinton. The concert was a sell out and the audience showed great appreciation for the music provided by choir and band.
It was good too to provide some local entertainment for the people of Dodworth, at the Christingle service held at The Grove, our Christmas concert at Green Road Chapel, and finally a group of players turned out on Boxing Day to play carols around the village.
