St Dennis Band - Cornwall
The St Dennis Band (Cornwall) was thought to have been formed in 1836 as part of the festivities in connection with the coronation of Queen Victoria and has continued to function by voluntary contributions up to the present time. Their first contest was in 1882 and this was followed by a series of contest successes covering all the ensuing years. Their contest were not confined to Cornwall . They had successes at Crystal Palace, Alexandra Palace and no less than twenty nine first prize winnings of the much coveted Prince of Wales Trophy held annually at the West of England Bandsmans Festival at Bugle.
