 4BR Prediction:
 It gets harder and harder for us to make our predicition in the 
              lower sections each year, and this is no exception. Some really 
              fine performances at this level were heard last year - including 
              test pieces such as "Resurgam", "Vizcaya" and 
              "Connotataions". The own choices this year are equally 
              ambitious.
 So it is a bit of a short in the dark. Here we go...... 1. Tertnes Amatorkorps2. Laksevag Musikkforening
 3. Gjesdal Brass Band
 4. Rong Brass
 5. Folleso Musikklag
 6. Tynes Musikklag
