Four tickets

Yamaha has provided four tickets for the event in one of the prime positions in the iconic hall — and all you have to do is be the first person to go along to the Yamaha Trade Stand at the hall with a copy of the National Finals programme to claim the prize.

Something extra

Natasha Homer of Yamaha Sales & Marketing Band and Orchestral Classic Division told 4BR: "It's a great way to be able to give a little something extra towards the enjoyment of the day for people who love their brass banding.

The music is fantastic, the bands will be brilliant and the atmosphere in the hall is amazing."

All that the first person has to do is come to the Yamaha Trade Stand in the Heineken Room with a programme and claim their prize!Natasha Homer
