Slightly off your route (but not that far by car), the Hardraw Scar 
Band Contest takes place on Sunday 9th September, near to Hawes, 
high in the Yorkshire dales but a short drive from the 
Lancashire/Cumbria border.  It is an open air contest in a natural 
ampitheatre created by Hardraw Force, the highest single drop 
waterfall in England.  The contest is open to all bands so you would 
have the opportunity to hear championship section bands playing 
alongside local village bands, all playing march, hymn tune and 
own choice testpiece.  I'm not certain of the times but it starts 
late morning and ends around five or six in the evening, depending on 
the number of entries.

It's certainly worth a visit for the variety of the music, the 
spectacular scenery and the beer at the Green Dragon Inn.

Come and hear The Harrogate Band and say hello!

David
