Interest

There has been a great deal of interest in their activities all week at the University itself, with delegates from all over the world on other recreational courses taking the time to come and listen to the Preference and Eminence bands rehearse, as well as enjoying the impromptu concerts given to provide entertainment whilst they enjoy their meal breaks throughout the day.

Intensive

The MDs of both Black Dyke and Cory have been enjoying themselves too, leading the delegates in intensive rehearsals as well as allowing the plenty of free time to go and enjoy the delights of the Gower coast.

Right balance

"I think we have got the balance just right this year," said Bob.

"The delegates have worked extremely hard all week and are looking forward to the free concert at Brangwyn Hall tonight at 7.30pm. We have mixed the hard work with plenty of relaxation and we had a fantastic concert during the week from our guests from Japan.

"Everyone has had a great time and we hope to be able to put on a tremendous concert to say thanks to everyone who has come and supported us."
