Chance to conduct a championship band with the BBCA!

Borris Oppliger conducting Foden's Band
Monday, 20 March, 2023

The Brass Band Conductors’ Association’s annual flagship conducting competition remains open for entries until 13 April.

As part of his prize, last year’s winner, Boris Oppliger, had the amazing experience of conducting the Foden’s Band in their pre-Nationals concert at the Regent Hall, London.  Boris also spent time with BBCA President Russell Gray, preparing Foden’s for their winning Nationals title, and took away £200, a glass plaque and a year’s free membership of the BBCA. This could be you!

Entrants are required to send in videos of themselves conducting by 13 April to be shortlisted for the semi-final where they will be adjudicated conducting the Hammonds Band at Eccles Town Hall on 17 June. If they reach the final six they are judged conducting the Eccles Borough Band in the Gala Concert.  All BBCA members will receive feedback on their entries.

Competition entry is open to all but is discounted for BBCA members.  If you’re not yet a member you can Join today. For more information please email bbca@bbe.org.uk.
