Leyland joined 17 other invited top bands to compete in the 165th British Open Championships held in the Symphony Hall, Birmingham (09/09/17).
Performing a hugely popular and well received work, “Fraternity” by French composer Thierry Deleruyelle, Leyland led by Musical Director Thomas Wyss were placed 10th having played at number 16 in the draw.
Our hearty congratulations go to the historic winners, “Valaisia Brass Band” from Switzerland, who become only the third non-British band to become Open champions.
