Bo’ness & Carriden Band got their
150th Anniversary of to a
flying start on Sunday with victory
in the Scottish Championships.

With a
confident and musical performance of
Gilbert Vinter’s “James Cook,
Circumnavigator”, the band not only
took the 1st Section
national title but also won the best
instrumentalist prize. This went to
their Soprano Cornet player, Richard
Tobin, who thoroughly deserved this
recognition after a stunning musical
performance.
The
contest took place in The Rothes
Halls in Glenrothes, which is a new
venue for this event, and proved a
popular choice with the public. A
packed hall witnessed Bo’ness &
Carriden take to the stage after
being drawn number 6 and as one
observer commented “ the band
lifted the competition to new levels
with a performance that outshone all
that had played before”
