Bands are requested to ensure they get their entries in for the popular Buxton Brass Band Festival, which will take place on Sunday, 8th May at the town's famous Pavilion Gardens.
The organisers of the own-choice contest wish to make bands aware that there is a slight change in the contest date this year.
Four sections

Due to work to replace the main beam running around the dome of the Octagon Theatre, the contest will be held in a purpose built, solid-sided marquee built on the Promenade.
