Regional erratas added

Bands have been reminded to keep an eye out for the list of errata on the 2026 Area test-pieces, as First Section amendment noted.

Lists of errata are available

Composer Andrew Wainwright has indicated that there is a small errata for competing bands to note for his First Section Regional Championships test-piece, 'Variations on 'Was Lebet''.

First Section

He told 4BR: "At figure DD, a 'piu mosso, minim = 69' is marked but it is at essentially the same tempo as is marked prior to that (138 crotchets per minute at the start of the movement and then minim = 69 at DD.)

So the 'piu mosso' should be removed and the music should continue at the same tempo."
