The Scottish Brass Band Association has announced a change to its music requirements for the 2023 Band Supplies Scottish Challenge Championship.

The originally remit was for all bands to perform a work written by Gilbert Vinter. 4BR has been informed that this remains for bands graded in the First and Second Section, but those in the Third and Fourth Section can now select any own-choice work.

Limited choice

SBBA stated: "Due to the more limited choice of music by Gilbert Vinter for Third and Fourth Section bands, they will now be able to perform own-choice pieces including, if they wish, Gilbert Vinter's music — although the requirement for First and Second Section bands remains."
