Hi sparkly...sparkling_quavers said:
... well there's one in Coleford at the beginning of February I think. It's an open entertainment contest i.e. just 1 section with prizes for the highest placed 'n' section bands.

Up Coming contests
But why are Bands so indifferent to their own Association contest ? It should be their first choice after the Area contest, which you have to attend if you want to retain your Section..I can't, and never could understand when I was involved with NEMBBA why so many member bands didn't attend..What do they want from their Assoc ? Why don't they send delegates to meetings, and discuss what it is they want, or is it just TOTAL APATHY..Briansparkling_quavers said:

I wholeheartedly agree with Brian, we all should support our local association contests. Long Eaton always go now!, even when 15 of the band had flu!! we didnt play our best though. Last year we came second best result we had for a long time. My brother carl even got euphonium player of the day!! the rest of the band got a bad headache 
PS the contest is held at Rolls Royce sports centre moor lane Derby
