During the Easter Break i was privileged to attend the National Youth Brass band of Great Britain up in Harrogate in order to present the Katie Ogden award winners with their prize which Mercer & Barker Ltd have agreed to sponsor for the next 3 years.  The prize was a M&B Mouthpiece of their choice.
