Kapitol Promotions has confirmed that all the performances at this year's Sections 1-4 National Finals will enjoy full video coverage for the first time.

World of Brass will record each performance at York Barbican on the weekend of 19th & 20th September which will then be released on-demand approximately two hours after the results are announced for each relevant section on the www.wobplay.com media platform.

It marks the first time that audiences can watch video recordings of the competing bands' performances. Previously only audio recordings were available.

Excited

Speaking about the new initiative, Philip Morris, Managing Director of Kapitol Promotions said: "We are excited to bring full video coverage of this popular and prestigious event to the wobplay audience for the first time. The National Finals showcase bands and performers of the highest calibre, and the event deserves to be seen by a wider international audience.

We have worked closely with World of Brass for many years and look forward to continuing and growing that strong relationship. Making complete video performances available on wobplay is an exciting addition to the event and an important step in extending its reach beyond the concert hall."

Fantastic

In response, Nicki Tonge of World of Brass added: "It's fantastic to be able to announce this major step forward for our coverage of the National Finals. Our goal is to bring the best of brass band music to as wide an audience as possible and give them the production values we know they deserve.

We also hope it gives the performers on the day a chance to relive that experience which they've spent so long working towards, and supporters at home to feel connected with the event."
