New dates for Kapitol Cory Online Championships

Ongoing concerns over Covid-19 restrictions sees the hugely popular online event push back dates for broadcasting.

Cory
  The broadcast dates have now been pushed back for the event

The Cory Band has announced that it has altered the dates for its upcoming Kapitol Cory Online Championships in response to the latest national lockdown restrictions in the UK.

Battle of the Regions

'Battle of the Regions' has built on the success of the inaugural online event held in September, boosted by the supported of Kapitol Promotions, with the five sections of competition added to by a special University category.

Commenting on the news, Cory Musical Director Philip Harper told 4BR: "We felt that one of the elements which made the first online contest so successful was having the live commentary and judges' comments, something we were keen to preserve for this edition."

Lockdown considerations

He added: "The UK lockdown is due for review on 15th February. Considering that our original broadcast date was just a few days later, we felt this would be a little too close for comfort in the event that restrictions are not eased."

We've therefore taken the precautionary step of moving the start date, and we keep our fingers crossed for better news by then."
