Results: 2012 City of Coventry & Warwickshire Brass Festival

A great turn out of performers made it a even better day of brass playing entertainment in Coventry.

 

The 3rd CW Brass Festival took place at Bablake School in Coventry on June 30th, where the five adjudicators enjoyed a full day of top class brass playing from the field of competitors.

Shared

Stephen Cooper, Andy Derrick, Chris Evans, Trevor Jones and Chris Lewis shared the workload in the 12 sections, before all competitors, adjudicators and stewards gave a rousing performance of the Blue Baton ‘Going the Distance’ before the results.
