The band made the long journey to Stevenage on Saturday 19th March in order to compete in the 2nd Section of the Regional Qualifying Contest for 2022. This was organised by the London and Southern Counties Region of the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and, due to the Covid pandemic, is the first to take place in this region since 2019.
Despite playing well and receiving favourable comments from the two adjudicators, the band finished 12th out of 17 bands on the day.
