Following its third successive victory at the European Championships in Linz a fortnight ago, Cory Band has extended its considerable lead at the top of the rankings.
Eikanger-Bjørsvik’s second place sees the Norwegian giant move into the top five for the first time ever while the home favourite, Brass Band Oberösterreich, moves into tenth position after its third place.
