Huddersfield supported by 'Terrier Brass'
Huddersfield Town’s very own, “Terrier Brass” performed at the recent England Internationals at Wembley Stadium as members of the official England Band. Six members of the group joined the England Band at the friendlies against England on Friday 10th November and Tuesday 14th November.
The England Band have been a permanent fixture at Wembley since 1996 and to date they have played more than 200 times for England, generating a supportive atmosphere from the terraces and witnessing some of England’s most memorable games.
John Hemmingham, leader of the England Band contacted Terrier Brass last month after seeing the band in action on TV and on social media. He said: “Huddersfield Town have grabbed quite a few headlines of late which drew our attention to the amazing support there. Having a high quality club brass band that plays before matches is a great part of this, so it seemed a good opportunity to involve them in the England Band.”
Leigh Baker, Terrier Brass manager commented: “It was a great honour to line up for England and represent Huddersfield Town and England. Many of us were at Wembley for the play off finals and it was great to bring a little bit of HTAFC red hot atmosphere into the National Stadium again.”
