Birmingham Citadel Band gave their annual “pre-contest” concert at the Symphony Hall to the keen brass band enthusiasts gathered for the 2009 “British Open”.

​

As usual, it proved to be an exciting, if not daunting, opportunity to provide pre-contest entertainment, along with music which reminded the listener of the Salvation Army Band’s real mission. 

​

The unusually early start of 8.45am was certainly a challenge in itself, but BCB, undeterred by the “close inspection” of the enthusiastic audience of band connoisseurs, gave a varied and interesting programme that set the scene for a busy day of music-making. Friendships were renewed and  many complimentary comments were received about the band’s playing and “witness” on such a prestigious occasion.
