THE BRASS BAND
BLOG

Red Admiral Music Academy have already earned themselves a solid reputation for running outstanding events. Now, alongside their partners, Leyland Band, they can add Fleetwood Contest to their roster of successful competitions. After 13 years, the contest returned to Marine Hall and thanks to the efforts of both organisations involved (in this author’s opinion as a player who competed in the contest) it’s better than ever.

The European Brass Band Championships will make a return to the UK in 2028. Held at Birmingham Symphony Hall, the return of the championships will mark a significant homecoming for the contest’s 50th anniversary year.

On Saturday the 23rd May, principal players from Foden's Band will lead a brass band masterclass at Bromsgrove School for young players aged 10-18.
