I thought the best of the best was supposed to go to the RAH for the youth prom. So why no invite for the best two youth bands in the country (U.K) in their respective sections. :evil:

I can understand your frustration but as i understand it because Gwent won 5 sections and the GGyBB played at RAH last year, the opportunity was offered to the wind synphonia to play this year.
Not sure why Newport Centre band wasn't invited though.
Your Still the best.!! 8) 8)
