Past Contest Results

Although traditionally Staines Lammas Band is does not enter formal band contests it has participated - under the leadership of Musical Director Glenn – in a four-band ‘friendly’ entertainments contest in Addlestone Community Centre annually since 2006. The contest is entitled Challenging Brass; the winning band receives and holds for one year The Genet Trophy.
