RESULTS: Borders Entertainment Contest 2017

Celebrations were in order for the Jedforest Instrumental Band after it triumphed at the 2017 Borders Entertainment Contest which was held in Jedburgh.

Musical Director Phil Rosier guided the Borders band to victory on Saturday 4th November after impressing adjudicators Raymond Tennant and Les Neish.

Jedforest’s programme found favour with both judges, receiving a unanimous first placing ahead of Langholm Town Band led by their Musical Director Chris Shanks in Second place and Broxburn & Livingston with John Boax at the helm were Third.

The winning programme saw Jedforest Instrumental open with Sabre Dance, Jedforest’s principal cornet David Sutherland played First Light by Ben Hollings, the band then entertained the audience with Salsation and their finale piece was Dan Price’s original composition, Starburst.
