In March 2023, Jayess Newbiggin Brass Band took to the stage in the 3rd Section at the North of England Regional Championships. Under the direction of the our Musical Director Andrew Griffiths we came home with the first place trophy and an invite the National Finals in Cheltenham! Not only that, but our wonderful percussion section took home the Best Percussion Section prize! This the second year in a row we have won the NOEBB Championships and qualified for Cheltenham, repeating the same feat from 2016 and 2017 when we won the 4th Section two years running.
The band are over the moon to have walked away triumphant at the North of England Regional Championships! We were so delighted with the hard work and dedication shown by everyone associated with Jayess Newbiggin. We did ourselves proud and it was a honour playing together again.
Now, we need the help of our wonderful friends and supporters to help us get to Cheltenham. Getting to the National Finals is not an easy or cheap process, we need to cover the costs of things such as our coach travel, hotels, test piece etc. The money raised from this CrowdFunder will be put towards our transport costs...we can't get the Cheltenham without a coach!
Anything you are able to give would be amazing and we would be forever grateful! We want to do Northumberland and the North East proud and we can't do it without your help and generosity!
