Willoughby opened their performance with a stirring rendition of ‘Where Eagles Sing’ by Paul Lovatt-Cooper which immediately demanded the attention of the audience and the adjudicator. This piece showcased the cornet section with a fanfare type beginning which opens into an energetic and exciting piece. Willoughby used the full sound of the whole band to fill Llewellyn Hall and rock its foundations.

Willoughby's major work was 'Royal Parks' by George Lloyd, a piece commissioned in memory of British Bandsmen killed by terrorists in 1982. 

Particular congratulations go to Gemma Hogg (22), who made her debut performance on Principal Cornet at the competition.

WIlloughby Band wishes to thank Hall Village band for continued competition in the section, and in particular Greg Stenning, Director of Music at St Edmund's College who once again generously provided a rehearsal venue close to the event.
