A brass band has secured a podium finish at a national competition following a standout performance.
The East Riding of Yorkshire Band placed third in the Third Section at the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain, held at York Barbican.
Competing against 20 bands from across the country, the group impressed adjudicators with their performance of Snow Island by Thierry Deleruyelle.
Jonathan Evison, Chair of the East Riding of Yorkshire Band, said: "It’s been a very exciting time for the band.
"After weeks of intense rehearsals, the players truly performed out of their skins."
The band had already secured promotion to the Second Section for 2027 after finishing second at the North of England Regional Championships.
