They competed against other local bands in a parade for a variety of trophies, delivering a 12-minute performance for the judges and audience.
During the performance, the glockenspiel section played a lively and fast rendition of the can-can. Following this, the band entertained the crowds with a marching display and a variety of music.

The band will keep the trophies for a year before returning them at the 2025 carnival. The band is open to new members aged eight and above. A spokesperson for the Vectis Corps of Drums Marching Band said: "Well done to all the members of the band.
