Irvine & Dreghorn Brass Band competed in the Fife Charities Band Association Open Contest. This contest required the band to play a march, hymn tune and test piece. Each piece is judged individually. The band thoroughly enjoyed playing in Kirkcaldy this year, and were happy with our performance on the day. Our pieces were Castell Coch, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, and The Dark Side of the Moon.
