Young Adjudicators Required In Yorkshire

The Association of Brass Band Adjudicators (AoBBA) are pleased to announce that they are, once again, to run a joint initiative with the Yorkshire Regional Brass Band Committee (YRBBC) in the promotion of the ‘Young Adjudicators Scheme’ at the Yorkshire Regional competition at the Town Hall, Huddersfield on Saturday 4th March.

The ‘Young Adjudicators’ will be mentored by Nicholas Garman of the AoBBA Executive committee, and will adjudicate the Fourth Section test piece “St Andrew’s Variations” by Alan Fernie. The official adjudicators are Marieka Gray and Sandy Smith who will both meet with the young adjudicator’s panel to discuss their adjudications.

The ‘Young Adjudicators’ will be provided with:

• Seating in front of official adjudicators box in the stalls
• Test piece score
• Adjudicator’s Remarks Sheets
• Adjudicator’s Results Form
• Meet with the adjudicators
• Band Member tickets for the young people and their parent/guardian(s) will be provided for the First Section, if they wish to attend. (Commence 4.45 pm approx. on Saturday, 5th March)
• C.D. recording of the individual young person’s choice of winning band will be sent to them shortly after the contest.

After the prize presentation ceremony, refreshments will be provided for the young adjudicators and their mentors. Any accompanying parent/guardian(s) are also welcome to partake of refreshments.

There are three/four places for young people up to the age of 18 years who wish to test their adjudicating skills under the guidance of Nicholas Garman.
