SCABA
would like to invite your band to take part in two
of the most popular brass band contests in the South
of England, namely the SCABA Spring Contest and the
SCABA Entertainment Contest. Both of these events
are long-established and enjoy the support of bands
from near and far.
The first of
the contests, the SCABA SPRING CONTEST, is
being held on Sunday 6th APRIL 2008,
at HOVE TOWN HALL. This venue offers all the
facilities we need, including an excellent
auditorium, rehearsal facilities, instrument
storage, trade stands, refreshments and a bar. A
large car park is located immediately opposite the
Town Hall. For those who want to get out and about,
whilst in Hove, there is plenty to see and do in the
immediate area and all the delights of Brighton are
only a few minutes walk away. The format of this
contest will be, as usual, an own-choice March and
an own-choice Test Piece.
The second
event, the SCABA ENTERTAINMENT CONTEST, will
be held at its traditional venue, THE HAWTH,
CRAWLEY, on Sunday 18th MAY 2008.
The Hawth is one of the best theatres in the country
and is ideally suited to our contest. Everything is
under one roof and there is a large car and coach
park in the theatre grounds. This contest consists
of an own-choice “Entertainment Programme” of 24
minutes duration, with open adjudication. Bands are
organised into two sections and separate time limits
apply to the “stage setting” and “performance”
elements.
All the
information you need to know about the two contests,
including the SCABA contesting rules and the Entry
Forms, can be accessed under the "Downloads"
section of the website.
Negotiations
with adjudicators are still on-going and their names
will be published as soon as possible.
Hopefully,
you will want your band to take part in these two
events, so it would be wise to get your entries in
as early as possible. For the Entertainment Contest
it is, as usual, “first come, first served”. Should
you need any further details, or have any queries,
please contact Ian Carter (SCABA Secretary) and we
look forward to welcoming you to the 2008 SCABA
Spring and SCABA Entertainment Contests.
