[acorn]

Congratulations to Jamie McVicar and all members of the Campbeltown Junior Brass Band, who today became Scottish Youth Novice Brass Band of the year at Perth. What a brillant achievement for the band and all those who helped make this possible.

Brilliant result. Well done to all involved! What a great achievement for such young musicians. They have a great future ahead of them. I don't think enough credit is given to the achievements of the brass band. It would be nice to see a good big write up about their successes in the Courier instead of reading full pages about the pipe band!

Yes congratulations to everyone. When you consider that it was a twenty band competition it's no small feat.
My daughter seems to be taking it all in her stride. I think her parents are more excited than she is

As the wife of an ex=bandsman who started as a child musician in Lancashire, may I say WELL DONE!! Fantastic achievement.

What a great weekend it was! From start to finish! And the icing on the cake was hearing that the band had won!
Jamie, you dealt with the phone call very calmly. How you kept your composure I will never know!
A huge congratulations to the Campbeltown Junior Brass Band! But also a huge 'well done' to Jamie, his team of mentors and the organisers!
Thank you!

A fine performance and a great weekend away. And the result was just the icing on the cake. I'm so proud of everyone, and delighted all our hard work was rewarded. Well done to all the youngsters - particularly those who started through our beginners workshops last summer, and so have been playing for only little more than a year.
Well done to all, and many thanks to everyone who made the weekend such a smoothly-run success: band secretaries (!) and all the parents who chose to come with us.
Can't wait to do it again

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Well done youngsters and everyone involved. I have always felt the brass band live in the shadows of the Pipe Band but everyone in Kintyre should be proud of the achievement of Campbeltown Junior Brass Band. I know from experience that this is a major award to win so well done everyone!
