The First Section has only a couple of places available for bands wanting to compete only in that section.

We cannot accept further entries from First Section wishing to compete in the Championship event, although they can if they wish, be placed on a waiting list if any current entrant drops out.

There are still some spot in Sections Two and Three and we would like to see a few more bands taking part in the Fourth Section."
