Cooperation band Youth Solo Competition
The cooperation band recently held its own very successful online Youth Solo Contest, with winner of the Advanced Section, Lewis Blackwood, being invited to perform with the Scottish Champion as a guest soloist when they return to the concert stage later this year.
A spokesperson for the contest stated, "The event was a huge success, and the performances gave the adjudicators plenty to think about. The special Phillip McCann Award provided by Phillip himself for the most outstanding cornet performance went to Luke Parkhill for his mature rendition on soprano of Philip Sparke's 'Flowerdale'."
