Wychavon Festival Announces Judges & Draws

The organising committee for Wychavon Festival of Brass is delighted to announce a truly exceptional number of bands that have entered the entertainment contest for 2017.

Understood to be the largest entry of bands in the Contest’s history, 46 bands will give 60 performances across the day.  Entries are up 35% on 2016 and are up some 75% on 2013 when the Festival understook major reorganisation.

Widely recognised therefore, as one of the fastest growing and financially sustainable entertainment contests in the UK, the organisers are thrilled to have attracted a panel of top adjudicators:-

Championship Section: Dr Robert Childs
First Section: Tom Davoren
Second Section: David Hirst
Third & Fourth Sections: Anne Crookston

Tickets on the door for the full day, covering all sections, are priced at just £10 (free for children under 10) and details for the public to order advanced tickets, priced at £8, will be available from Monday 18th September on the Festival website (www.festivalofbrass.co.uk).
