The 2017 UniBrass Championships will take place at Harrogate International Conference Centre on Saturday.
Students the length and breadth of the UK will have sacrificed their studies for a few days to concentrate on the musical exam papers of the own choice programmes they will present for the judges in the UniBrass Trophy and Shield competitions.
A First or a Desmond
It promises to be a fantastic day of high quality playing and friendly competition as judges, Philip Harper and Anne Crookston, Leigh Baker and Mark Wilkinson decide on who gets to claim a 'first' from a 'Desmond' come the results.
And a band that has more firsts than a roomful of Oxbridge nuclear physic graduates will entertain the audience before the announcement of the results, as Cory Band showcase their talents in a Gala Concert as well as leading a lunchtime workshop.
