It said on the list, didn't it?

I think Spinnaker Brass and Storm Brass have withdrawn.



How does an open section work? (I've only ever played at the regionals).

Each band enters under their National grading, playing a own choice test piece from that grading or higher. The bands will play in one mixed section and the adjudicator will award overall placings.
The highest placed bands from each National Section will also win their own section prizes.
(I think the Scottish Open does this format too?)

It would mean that a 1st section band (Band X) could actually win the contest by scoring more points than a championship band (Band Y).

Band X would also win the 1st Section

Band Y would win the Championship section.

Its a great format and lets, especially local bands, compete on equal terms with the chance to perform a "giant-killing"
