including performing at Lichfield Proms in
the Park which attracts an audience of local
residents in their thousands and performing
at the National Arboretum as part of the
Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
We maintained and developed further our
relationship with other local music groups
and venues this year performing in the
Coton Centre, Tamworth and Lichfield
Cathedral which gave opportunites to reach
wider and larger audiences.
In November 2022 we performed at the
regional qualifying event for the National
Concert Band Festival in Telford gaining a
platinum award and an invitation to perform
at the national finals in Manchester in 2023.
This gave the band members a valuable
experience of performing at a very high
standard and also led to representing
Lichfield on the national stage.| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
