RESULTS: ODBBA Winter Contest
The ODBBA Winter Contest gave bands the opportunity to showcase their Regional Championship Test Pieces and gain valuable feedback ahead of their respective ‘Area’ contests that are just around the corner.
A special mention of thanks must go to adjudicators, Nick Garman and Alan Duguid, who stepped in at the last minute on Sunday to fill in for judge, Paul Norley who was meant to be the adjudicator for the whole weekend. Sadly due to a bereavement, Paul was unable to attend on the Sunday.
