Wychavon closing date looms

If you want to be part of one of the most vibrant contests around, then make sure you get your entry form in — and fast.

Wychavon
 

The closing date is fast approaching for bands to enter the 2015 Wychavon Festival of Brass.

Increasingly popular

The entertainment contest event, which takes place on the 31st October, has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to its excellent organisation, generous prize fund and link to the British Open Spring Festival, which sees the top qualifying band gain direct entry to the Senior Trophy.

Not surprisingly then the Championship and First Sections are already filling up nicely with ambitious entrants — including a number of new bands looking to claim silverware, whilst there are still places available in the other sections.
