A spokesperson told 4BR: “There are sections for all ages and for each of the three bands that make up the organisation; Beginner, Junior and Youth.

New last year was an open section for players to demonstrate a wide range of musical ability, and following its success it will feature once again. There are entries featuring piano, cello, drums, guitar and vocals.”
