Join respected AoBBA members Nicholas Garman and Chris King as they lead the Friary Guildford band through the 1st and 2nd section area test pieces and discuss their insights.
Brass Metamorphosis (1st Section) will be discussed by Nicholas Garman, who, as well being the MD of Littleport Brass and an examiner for the London College of Music, is also a member of the AoBBA Executive Committee. Nick has adjudicated at many competitions and is a regular on the Regionals circuit, not only as an adjudicator, but as a player and conductor too.
Chris King will discuss the 2nd Section work, Ex Terra Lucem. Chris is the MD of the Friary Guildford band, and as well as preparing Odyssey with the L&SC Champions, he’ll be having a busy time adjudicating at the Regionals in both the Midlands and L&SC regions.
The 2nd Section workshop will take place from 10.00-11.30 and the 1st Section from 12.30-14.00.
Places are limited and priority will be given to Musical Directors of bands competing in the 1st and 2nd sections.
Our Spring Contest is moving to a new venue and date in 2020!
The new date – 8th March – gives bands an ideal opportunity to run their set test pieces out ahead of the Regional qualifying contest, and our section structure and relaxed registration rules open the contest up to Ungraded and Youth bands too.
The new venue – the Attenborough Centre – is a purpose-built performing arts facility on the University of Sussex campus, close to the seaside town of Brighton and beautiful parkland. More info can be found on the ACCA Website
