Revisions for Wychavon

There have been some changes to the line-ups at the Wychavon Festival next month — resulting in some amendments to the start times.

Wychavon
  There have been a few amendments made to the time-tables and line-ups at Wychavon.

A revised timetable has been released for the forthcoming Wychavon Festival of Brass, which takes place at the De Montfort School in Evesham (WR11 1DQ) on November 3rd.

There will be no less than 55 performances in four separate halls from the competing bands (some trying their luck in two sections), with the doors opening at 9.00am and the action starting half an hour later.

Tickets to go along and enjoy the music are just £8.00 if booked in advance and £10.00 on the day

Excellent facilities

As usual there will be excellent facilities to enjoy for competitors and audience alike, with a friendly atmosphere, generous prizes and the additional attraction for the highest placed, eligible band (of which there are 11) in the Championship Section gaining an invitation to compete at the Spring Festival.
