UPDATED: More success for concert band

THE Derwent Valley Concert Band has earned another accolade, winning the community band section of the International Freestyle Parade Competition in Monza, Italy, on Sunday. Official results showed the band tied on 85.1 points with the Bishop Grandin Marching Ghosts from Calgary, Canada, but in fact the 135-member Canadian band was competing in a different category. Bands taking part in the event held at the famous formula-one racetrack were judged on music repertoire and performance, form and style, choreography and general effect. Most band members are expected home at the end of the week.
