Ethos

The ethos of the day is to allow budding and developing brass players of all ages the opportunity to demonstrate their talent in front of an appreciative audience.

Band Chairman Graham Howe told 4BR: "It was such an enjoyable event last year and the adjudicators really bought into the ethos.

We're also looking forward to seeing Thomas Dunne leading the free lunchtime Workshop, which is open to all performers on the day."
