The Dutch National Championships take place in Utrecht, where 44 bands battle for honours in five sections at the brand new Tivoli Vredenburg — the host venue for the 2018 European Championships.

Meanwhile, there is a fine line up of bands taking part in the popular Wychavon Festival of Brass in Evesham, where 4BR will be following the action and using Twitter to update everyone on the performances.
