Trustees annual report – 2023 

Liverpool Brass Band continues to perform a wide array of concerts within the local community, supporting other charities and developing the musical abilities of members. In 2022-23, performing at the Eurovision festival was a standout occasion, including the opportunity for some members to perform on BBC. This was a unique experience and the band is especially grateful to the Musical Director, Louise Hough MBE, for arranging this opportunity.. The band also experienced competitive success, again advancing to the 3[rd] section National Finals in Cheltenham. 

Financially, the band again made a loss during the financial year, which was mostly due to contest fees. Musical success unfortunately brings considerable transport and accommodation fees. Updating band uniforms was another large cost. Helpfully, income from donations increased during this period. The band currently has reserves but in the coming years, trustees will again be mindful of running costs.
