Help us get to the National Finals!

Countdown

 
 

Back in February 2024, we travelled to the North West Regional Championships in Blackpool to fight for a place in the National finals. Out of 18 very talented bands, we were thrilled to come second! This means that for a sixth time, the band will travel to the National Finals for an opportunity to put Eccleston on the map and become the country’s best 3rd Section brass band.

All we have to do now is get there, and that’s where we need your help!

The journey to the finals is going to cost £4500, which covers transport and accommodation for our 30 band members.  We’ll be holding a few special events to try and raise funds in the run up to the finals, but we’re calling on everyone to donate whatever you can to our Just Giving page and support the band in this monumental moment in our 170 year history.

Last time we asked, nearly every business in Eccleston helped out and we reached our goal in a matter of days, so please local business owners, get behind our campaign and do whatever you can.

Thank you!
