The march contest has become a popular event in the mid-Wales town

Saturday, 16 February 2019

Following last year's successful event, plans are now well underway for the eighth Newtown (Mid Wales) March & Open Air Contest to be held on Sunday, 9th June.

March

To be held at Newtown Hall Park, the format is similar to previous years, with a march along the local High Street into the park with a prize for deportment. Bands will then play an own choice quick march, a hymn tune from the famous 'Red Hymn Book' and one other entertainment piece.

Open

The competition is open to bands graded in the First to Fourth Sections as well as non-registered and youth and training bands.
