On-line solo competition

The Association's Online Solo & Ensemble Contest will be open to players from the UK and abroad and will be judged by Mark Wilkinson.

Prizes include a free online lesson with one of the Foden's Band leading soloists. Results for the event will be announced at the Association's Brass Training Day at Hellesdon High School, Norwich on 29th October where tutors will be provided by Foden's Band.

The day will include both sectional and full band rehearsals. Details and entry forms for both events are available by contacting the Association Secretary, Christine Wade at administration@eabba.org.uk
