SUCCESS has struck a chord with Silsden Town Band.

Winners were: Musical Director's Trophy for player of the year, Sylvia Somers; Progress Shield for most improved player, Margaret Anthony; Chairman's Award for young musician of the year, Sam Laycock; Harold Clough Long Service Cup, Dennis Ross; Supporter of the Year, Rachel Dunn, and Player's Player of the Year, Rosemary Wallbank.
