4BR has been informed that due to the early announcement of the 2011 regional test pieces publishers Kirklees Music have asked the competing bands in Sections 3 & 4 to note that the new versions of their published works must be used at the qualifiers.

Fourth Section

The Fourth Section, 'Prelude, Song & Dance' by John Golland, which was first published in the late 1980's has now been amended with a number of new additions to the score.

Kirklees state that the Music Panel are aware of this and state that this new version must be used at the contests next year.

They also add that if any bands have the original version, Kirklees will part exchange these at a much reduced cost. This must be ordered direct from Kirklees to ensure there are no complications.
