Rankings update - April

Rankings update — April

The updated Band Supplies — 4barsrest World Rankings see wholesale changes throughout following the regional championships and other events since the start of 2022.

Foden's led the prize-winners in Blackpool earlier this year.

Sunday, 10 April 2022

Victories for Foden's, Black Dyke, Cory, Whitburn, Desford, Riverside, Aldbourne and Haverhill in their respective regions gave each of them significant points boosts, while Flowers' win at Butlins helped the West of England band back into the top five for the first time in six years.

The other contests held since the last update were:

French National Championships — won by Hauts-de-France
NEMBBA Contest — won by Unite the Union
Welsh Open — won by Pontardulais
Oxfordshire BBA — won by Verwood Concert Brass

The contest season continues to be busy for the next few months, with the European Championships and Spring Festival coming up before the next update in May.
