Wychavon open for bands from 1st January

Bands are already trying to get their names on the starting grid for the popular 2019 Wychavon Festival of Brass...

Open
  The entry door will be open for the Wychavon Festival of Brass from January 1st.

Such was the success of the 2018 Wychavon Festival of Brass that the organisers have already been approached by a number of bands to reserve their place in the starting line-ups for the 2019 contest.

That will take place on November 2nd at De Montford High School in Evesham.

Prize pot

As always there is a generous prize pot in each section as well as numerous awards (including 'Best Baritones') and excellent facilities for the competing bands.

There is also the added attraction of the highest placed band in the top section not already at the British Open Spring Festival, gaining an automatic invite to the Senior Trophy in Blackpool next May.

Enter

Bands can start getting their entries in from 1st January by going to: https://www.festivalofbrass.co.uk/home.html
