The Association of Brass Band Adjudicators (AoBBA) has linked up with Kapitol Promotions to promote an Adjudicators' Experience Day at the Section 1-4 National Finals in Cheltenham.
The initiative on Saturday 13th & Sunday 14th September is aimed at those interested in becoming an adjudicator as well as those who would like to find out more about the role and experiences of being a judge at a contest.
Mentoring
With mentoring from an AoBBA Executive Member, participants will partake in a workshop covering score preparation, the PAC (Performance Assessment Criteria) code, contest paperwork and how an adjudicator prepares for a contest.
Participants will also undertake their own adjudications for the first half of one of the sections (score provided), meet one of the official adjudicators and take part in a de-brief Q&A session.
Register interest
To register your interest, please send a short letter of application to AoBBA's Vice Chair & Head of the Training Programme, Martin Heartfield at: musicbloke@aol.com
Closing date: Monday 30th June
