Land O' Burns on the look out

Bands wishing to try and get their hands on the £6,000 prize pot at the Land O' Burns contest better be quick.

Friday, 18 May 2012

The popular Land O' Burns ‘Brass in Concert' contest will take place on August 25th.

Generous

It will be the 19th running of the event, which attracts bands from all over Scotland as well as England, thanks to a very generous prize fund of over £6,000 and a wonderful competitive atmosphere at Troon Concert Hall.

Presented by Dalmellington Band and supported by South Ayrshire Council, the event is open to bands of Championship, First and Second Section status, who will have to try and catch the ear of adjudicator Richard Evans.

Programmes

All bands have to perform an own choice 20 minute concert programme, although it must include one stand-up soloist.

Reigning champion Kingdom Brass (above) will be out to defend its title against a strong field of contenders.
