Twenty-six talented brass instrumentalists took part in three age categories after qualifying for the finals at regional competitions. Selkirk Silver’s young trombonist Iris Deane won the Junior class (for players aged 12 and under); Charlie Boax, who is a baritone player with Irvine & Dreghorn, won the Intermediate section (16 and under); and Dalmellington trombonist Joshua Parkhill came out on top of the Youth entries (21 and under).
