The contest, which takes place on Saturday 5th September at Symphony Hall, Birmingham will see the world's finest bands compete for the famous Golden Shield trophy (above) on 'Reflections on Swan Lake' by Stephen Roberts.

At present there is only very limited availability within the Stalls and Upper Circle areas except the Grand Tier, although these are also expected to be snapped up in advance of the contest itself.
