Two very special centenaries are being marked at the West of England Bandsman’s Festival at Bugle in 2013.

Royal Trophy

In the Second Section contest, the organising committee have chosen the march ‘Royal Trophy’, written by William Rimmer to mark the presentation by The Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, of The Royal Trophy to the Festival exactly 100 years ago.

It remains the only trophy presented by to a brass band contest by British royalty anywhere in the world.

George Lloyd

Meanwhile, for the Championship Section event the set work will be ‘English Heritage’ by Cornish born composer George Lloyd, who was born in St Ives on June 28th 1913.

A spokesperson told 4BR: "George Lloyd's centenary is being marked by many special performances throughout Cornwall during the year and the Festival is delighted to be able to pay its own tribute to this popular composer of attractive and accessible music for brass band."

Other works

Elsewhere the Training and Youth Bands have the chance to perform their own choice music, with the other sections being challenged by music from Eric Ball, Gilbert Vinter, Philip Sparke and Hermann Blankenburg.

In recognition of the first appearance at the Festival on June 15th, of Philip Harper as adjudicator, the Second Section will also tackle his ‘A Gallimaufry Suite’, with First Section playing ‘The Kingdom of Dragons’.
