On Sunday 5th October the band took the stage at the Marine Hall Fleetwood competing in the 2nd Section of the North West Counties Brass Band Association Contest. Playing Kenneth Downies 'Purcell Variations' the band gained a credible 5th Place with 178 points. The adjudicator, Richard Evans, congratulated the band on "some great moments" "fine Euph/Eb Bass work" stating "the band plays the rhythmic changes well" and "fine cornet".

The Marine Hall, with large Concert Hall and Cambra approved bar was an excellent choice of venue. The contest hosted 4 sections including a youth section and was an excellent day for all involved.

The band wishes to thank all members and supporters for the hard work put in preparing for the contest. A special mention is to be made to Colin Harding of Dronfield Band who made an excellent job helping out on Eb Bass.

Finally Flixton Band would like to congratulate Blackpool, Valley Brass and Hesketh Bank on their performances and look forward to the next challenge at St Helens in November
