Are the 1st Section at the crack of dawn this year? If so, is it the weekend the clocks go forward and do we need to buy our bass bonist another alarm clock since he overslept last year???

1st Section is on Saturday this year so I would think you'll be playing in the afternoon

1st Section starts at lunchtime on Saturday to be followed by 4th Section.

Lunchtime is a bit nicer - better than 0600 start we had in 2nd section last year! The joys of being at the "southern" end of the northern region!

Full list of bands now at http://www.noebbc.co.uk/regionalcontest2009.htm some pretty poor numbers in section 2 and 4.

section 2 isn't that bad . Theres only 8 bands registered for this section and 6 of them are competing. section 3 theres 9 out of 12 but section 4 only has 9 out of 15. Nice to see a full entry from championship and 1st section though

I think the bumper attendance in last year's 4th section contest may well have been down to a pretty straightforward testpiece. This year's rather more demanding one is likely to have put a few bands off.

North Skelton Band is back on the map and were really looking forward to competeing in the Areas. Our last time was in 2006, as Langbaurgh Brass, since then we've ridden the storm, re-grouped and re-named ourselves and are raring to go on the Once and Future king.

Good luck to all competeing Bands - especially my good mates at Easington Colliery, we'll soon be up against you (I hope)
