AoBBA Young Adjudicators Scheme 2020
The Association of Brass Band Adjudicators (AoBBA) is pleased to announce that it is, once again, to run a joint initiative with the Yorkshire Regional Brass Band Committee (YRBBC) and the London and Southern Counties Regional Brass Band Committee (LSCRBBC) in the promotion of the ‘Young Adjudicators Scheme’ at the Yorkshire Regional competition at the Town Hall, Huddersfield on Saturday 7th March (2nd section) and at the London and Southern Counties Regional competition at Stevenage Arts and Leisure Centre on Sunday 22nd March (2nd Section).
AoBBA is also delighted to announce that this year’s scheme will also be supported at the North West Regional Championships to be held on Sunday 23rd February. The ‘Young Adjudicators’ will be mentored by AoBBA members. The official adjudicators will both meet with the young adjudicator’s panel to discuss their approaches to adjudication.
The ‘Young Adjudicators’ will be provided with: Seating near the official adjudicators box, Test piece score, Adjudicator’s Remarks Sheets, Adjudicator’s Results Form, Meet with the adjudicators, Band Member tickets for the young people and their parent/guardian(s) and
C.D. recording of the individual young person’s choice of winning band will be sent to them shortly after the contest.
There are four places for young people aged of 11- 18 at each contest, who wish to test their adjudicating skills. In the first instance, applications are welcomed from those who have not previously taken part in the scheme. Numbers wishing to take part are expected to be high, so early application is encouraged. Anyone who wishes to participate should contact:
