It's a great shame that so few of the big name bands here in the UK have supported this, so NO credit to them!....For Fodens however, well done that band!
It has to be said that the general quality is 'average' although there have been some good performances, notably from USA brass bands and British Army Brass Band which I understand is an amateur band of serving enthusiasts....also, nice job from 'Eternal brass' in Japan. The great thjing about this online contest is that all levels of bands across the globe get a chance to make an appearance.
....Still severall hours to go, just like the real event only without the rain! |
