  The Wychavon Festival of Brass remains one of the most popular events on the banding calendar

4BR has been informed that once again the Wychavon Festival of Brass Championships has gained an excellent level of entries.

There are now just a few places available for bands with the closing date looming on the horizon on September 14th.

Few places left

A spokesperson told 4BR: "There are still a few places available for Championship level bands, but we are very close to capacity.

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."
