After a thrilling day of contesting, the 10 championship section contenders are putting the final touches to their own choice preparation as we count down to the climax of the 2011 Europeans.

Opinions

Opinions about who is in the lead so far vary greatly – depending on who you speak to of course — but they generally fall into two camps.

Cory, Manger, Tredegar and Treize Etoiles seem to be the bands most favoured, but the one to watch out for may well be Noord Limburgse, who have been consistently mentioned in dispatches in every bar (and we went to a few) we visited last night.

Brilliant piece

Oliver Waespi’s ‘Audivi Media Nocte’ certainly sorted the bands out, and was a brilliant piece to sit back and enjoy – especially with 10 very different interpretations on offer.

The draw has been made, but with the B Section taking place this morning, it won’t be published until later on 4BR. All we can say is that it promises to provide a great climax to the event.

Round table video

In the next few hours we will be putting further galleries and videos up on the site – including last night’s press round table discussion, where 4BR Editor Iwan Fox was joined by Jeremy Wise, Kenny Crookston and Roy Terry to talk about the day’s performances.

And guess what? We don’t agree on a leader either....
