A BAND based bear Oldbury hit the right notes after winning a contest at an annual music competition.
Langley Band took part in the Whit Friday Brass Band, held around the moorland villages and towns in the Pennines, while dressed up as Star Wars characters.
They won one contest as highest placed 1st Section Band and overall came 21st out of 129 bands, which is the best result in the band’s history.
Musical Director Cliff Parker dressed up as Darth Vader and even had a lightsaber battle with a police officer in one of the villages.
A spokesman for the band said: “The local bobby really entered into the spirit of things and every village that we visited welcomed us with rapturous applause.”
