Audience vote
It isn’t only the adjudication panel that decides a winner; the ever-popular Audience Vote will return once more, giving those both in the room and watching online the opportunity to have their say and vote for the audience’s winner.
Throughout the day of the 48th Brass in Concert Championship, audience members will be able to pick up a special card to vote for their favourite band performance. The vote will open following the final band’s performance.
