Following last year's successful event, plans are now well in hand for the 5th Newtown (Mid Wales) March & Open Air Contest, to be held on Sunday, 12th June in Newtown's Hall Park.
Similar format
The format will be similar to previous years, with a march along the town High Street and into the Park. Bands will then play an own-choice quick march, a hymn tune from the 'Red' 120 Hymn Book and one other entertainment piece, with a suggested total playing time of 15 minutes. There is also a deportment prize.
Bands
The competition will be for bands graded in the First, Second, Third and Fourth Sections nationally, non-registered bands and Youth and Training bands.
