The inaugural Championships will see bands compete with a 20 minute Disney themed entertainment programme (subject to rules and guidelines) before joining forces in a massed ‘Whit Friday’ style march through the heart of Disneyland Paris in one of its famous pre-parades.

The concept is to bring the magic back to brass bands with performance and fun at the heart of the agendaTabby Clegg

Amazing experience

Tabby Clegg, co-Director of Mode for... told 4BR: "It promises to be an amazing experience for bands and is open to all standards and sizes. The concept is to bring the magic back to brass bands with performance and fun at the heart of the agenda.

What better and more magical environment is there to hold an event, and bands get to perform and enjoy all the relaxing and fun aspects of the parks themselves."
