On Friday 28th February, Enniskillen Royal Brass Band had the pleasure of performing at the Brass in Concert as part of a competition organised by Brass Bands Northern Ireland (BBNI), held in the Valley Hotel in Fivemiletown. Friday night was a concert for local, mostly non-competing bands and school/youth bands. Our school band performed to a large audience playing three pieces, namely a march ‘Hollyhead’, the Film theme from ‘Ghostbusters’ and an evocative rendition of ‘Starlight’ under the Musical Direction of our Brass Band Director & Tutor Mr Stephen Magee. The performances were very well received by the audience which included bandspersons from throughout Northern Ireland as well as many local players and supporters. Congratulations to our pupils who also performed on the night with local bands including Ballyreagh Silver, Churchill Silver and Murley Silver Bands.

On Saturday the main competitions were held including Junior, Intermediate and Championship section bands performing and competing from throughout the province. Our school band principal player Erin Trimble was back performing as part of the Championship section with Murley Silver Band from Fivemiletown. It was also great to see many former Enniskillen Royal pupils playing as part of local bands both at the Friday night concert and in various bands competing on Saturday. Mr Magee and Mrs Bloomfield were also involved playing in the Championship section with Strabane Brass Band and Murley Silver Band respectively. Overall, it was a great weekend of music-making at a very high level within our community and lovely for our school band to be have been able to attend and showcase their work.
