2018 Brass in Concert draw announced
The draw has been announced for the 2018 Brass in Concert Entertainment Championship and Youth Brass in Concert Entertainment Championships.
It took place at Durham Cathedral during a concert by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band presented by the Brass in Concert organisers in aid of the North of England Children's Cancer Research Fund.
The line-up of competing bands is mouth-watering, although it does not include the defending champions, Eikanger Bjorsvik. Previous winners Cory, Foden's, Brighouse & Rastrick and Grimethorpe are joined by NABBA Champion Fountain City and Atlantic Brass from the USA, as well as Norway's Manger Musikklag and top quality British rivals Virtuosi GUS, Reg Vardy, Whitburn, Flowers and Carlton Main Frickley.
In addition, the very best youth band talent in the UK will compete for the inaugural Youth Brass in Concert Championship, with six bands lined up to entertain the crowds on Saturday.
Tickets:
Youth Brass in Concert on Saturday 17th November are priced at £10.00 and £5 (concessions).
World of Brass in Concert featuring Foden's and Matt Ford are £27.00, £18.00 and £10.00
