2023 Brass in Concert draw made

The draw for the Brass in Concert Championships was made in Malmo.

Brass in Concert
  The Brass in Concert Championships take place on 18th November

The draw has been made for the 2023 Brass in Concert Championships which will be held at Sage Gateshead on Saturday 18th November.

Due to a non high-tech technical hitch (the wrong numbered balls in the wrong draw bag) the first version of the draw undertaken by the Brass in Concert organisers and which was made live on the Wobplay.com coverage from the 2023 European Championships, had to be re-run.

The new draw which was made by Brass in Concert advisor, Kenny Crookston with the assistance of Iwan Fox, Steven Mead and Tormod Flaten was also done live from the Championships, and is now as follows:

1. Grimethorpe Colliery Band
2. Brighouse & Rastrick
3. Friary Band
4. Eikanger Bjorsvik
5. Hammonds
6. Foden's
7. Carlton Main Frickley
8. Tredegar
9. Aldbourne
10. Flowers
11. Fountain City
