Fancy becoming a judge?

The Fife Charities Contest is looking for a young adjudicator.

Fife
 

The Fife Charities Band Association is holding their annual contest later this year in Kirkcaldy.

The contest normally has two adjudicators, one main adjudicator to judge the March, Hymn Tune and test piece contest and a second adjudicator to judge the solo and sectional awards.

Innovative step

In an innovative step however, they are now looking to give one aspiring young adjudicator the opportunity to carry out this role as second adjudicator.

Chairman Steve Craig told 4BR: "They will be responsible for awarding all the solo and sectional prizes and providing each band with a written critique for all three pieces."

Want to have a go?

To be considered for this please forward your full musical CV to The Chairman of the Fife Charities Band Association at: chairman@fcba.org.uk

The successful person will be notified by the end of August.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to break into adjudicatingChairman, Steve Craig

Excellent opportunity

Steve added: "This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to break into adjudicating, as bands from all five sections will be on show. Guidance and help will be given by the contest organisers and the main adjudicator."
