Brass on the Grass
- Hits: 4140
Senior Band were visited by an old friend when they played a varied programme for Brass on the Grass at St Mary's Churchyard at the end of a very busy weekend. Stephen Gibson was kind enough to come all the way from Beverley to reinforce the Bass section.
The Concert was played to an enthusiastic audience of Horbury folk waving flags and singing along.

A fence too many for Horbury Horse
- Hits: 3422
Horbury have returned from this years area contest with an air of disappointment.
After being drawn 4th, We took to the stage in high spirits. Unfortunately we did not play as well as we could have done on the day and came away with 8th place. The adjudicators felt tempos had been far too quick and the piece required more 'space'. However on a positive note, we have consolidated our position in the second section for next year.
Thanks to everyones commitment in the last few months, lets hope for better luck next year
