Brass Bands England has enjoyed a great response to its initial request to fill a number of roles for its flagship event at King Edward's School, Birmingham on Saturday 17th April, but they have told 4BR that there is still time to play a part.
There are only a few days left to apply to be an adjudicator, to volunteer in various roles, or to be a paid young compere or photographer (aged 18-25).
Adjudicators
Applications are requested to be considered for the appointment as one of the six adjudicators for the event.
Although no formal adjudication experience is required BBE states that they should be able to, "offer supportive, constructive feedback that will inspire and guide the stars of tomorrow", adding that, "if you're passionate about brass music and understand what makes a great performance, we want to hear from you."
Travel and accommodation will be provided, along with an adjudication fee of £250.
Volunteers
In line with BBE's commitment to providing volunteer and paid opportunities for 18-25 year olds, there are also other important roles that are ideal for those with a passion to help inspire the next generation of young performers.
Volunteer roles (for part or the full day) include band guiding, stage management support, registration desk, hall stewarding, general venue guiding, and more. Reasonable travel expenses can be covered for those travelling from within a fair distance of the venue.
