BBE Partnership & Development Manager Alex Parker told 4BR: "Our members are the most important part of Brass Bands England and this competition is our way of saying 'thank you' for all the hard work they undertake."

Charity partner

Alex revealed that BBE has linked up with Band Supplies, BrassPass.tv and British Bandsman to provide a selection of goodies for each month's competition winner and support their charity partner Brass for Africa.

"The partnership is a really great way to support bands as well as the great projects that Brass for Africa works on. Through the competition we will be bring stories about our member bands in the UK and also those benefiting from Brass for Africa's projects."
