Montreux beckons for Scottish Champions Whitburn
Congratulations to the 2018 Scottish Champions, Whitburn. The band will not only represent Scotland at the National Finals in October with runners-up, Co-operative Funeralcare, but has also now on an invitation to the 2019 European Championships in Montreux. The win also completed a trio of impressive regional titles for the band's M.D. Prof. Nicholas Childs, who has already led Foden's and Black Dyke to victory this year.
Well done to the winners and qualifiers from all other sections that will represent Scotland in Cheltenham, later this year.
