There are many mentions of the Trafalgar Brass Band in the BNA but they are mostly where they were leading a procession or performing at a function. The only one I can see where they won a prize is this one

BNA Gloucester Journal - Saturday 29 August 1874

COLEFORD. In the brass band contest at Blaenavon, on Monday, the first prize for the best rendering selection chosen by the performers was won by the Trafalgar Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr, Pogson, the band the 12th Glamorgan being second. Mr. Stephen Craen, the first cornet player at Trafalgar, also succeeded in winning the prize for the best rendered cornet solo, member of the 14th Glamorgan band taking second prize.

This site confirms that the conductor was Daniel POGSON. There seems to be no further information on wins.
