Perth Concert Hall will host the first leg of a triptych of contesting attractions over the next two weekends, when 20 bands take to the stage for the Band Supplies Scottish Challenge Contest on Saturday 22nd November.

The event sees bands from the First to Fourth Section perform their own-choice test-piece selections for judges Simon Gresswell and Leigh Baker.

Band Supplies support

The contest is sponsored by Band Supplies Ltd which has been a generous supporter of the Scottish banding movement over the past 30 years and more.

Ann Tennant told 4BR: "Once again we are looking forward to what promises to be a wonderful community event in Perth. The fantastic turnout of bands once again shows that the foundations of Scottish banding are strong and vibrant and packed with talent.

We are delighted to offer our support to all the competing bands and both Ronnie and I look forward to meeting up with old friends and new friends."

Tickets:

Tickets for the Scottish Festival of Brass are available on the day at the entrance to Perth Concert Hall, priced at £16.50 (and £12.50 for concessions).
