4BR Prediction:

It gets harder and harder for us to make our predicition in the lower sections each year, and this is no exception. Some really fine performances at this level were heard last year - including test pieces such as "Resurgam", "Vizcaya" and "Connotataions". The own choices this year are equally ambitious.

So it is a bit of a short in the dark. Here we go......

1. Tertnes Amatorkorps
2. Laksevag Musikkforening
3. Gjesdal Brass Band
4. Rong Brass
5. Folleso Musikklag
6. Tynes Musikklag
