Hatfields of Colchester (R. Howard, 179) Hendon and Staines withdrew. Needless to say, City of Oxford are delighted to have come second in the area. Before the contest, we knew we could do well. We didn't play as well as we could have done on stage, but we were quite pleased to come second. Given that we were a first section band last year, this is a very good result for us. (I think we have given the best performance of any newly promoted band in the country so far: Glossop Old managed fourth place in their area). As you can see, we finished 2 points ahead of last year's Champions, Redbridge Brass. Roll on the Royal Albert Hall!! I understand that the British Bandsman may be interested in doing an article on the City of Oxford Band in the run-up to the Finals, given that this is the first time the band has qualified to compete in London. We are aware that it is traditional for the L+SC bands to come last and 2nd-last at the National Finals (!!!), but we firmly believe that we may well surprise a few bands later this year. Look out Faireys, here we come!!!!!
