A message from Keith Allen, Director, ncbf ncbf are pleased to announce the venue and dates for the National Festival 2008.
The Bridge House Theatre and Guy Nelson Concert Hall, Warwick
on Saturday 19th April and Sunday 20th April
Further details will be posted as soon as possible.
This is the third venue of our ‘around the UK strategy’. The National Festival of ncbf, following the Regional Festivals, is the culmination of the participation of a huge number of bands around the UK representing over 5,000 musicians in total.
These two days will be packed with exciting performances of both wind band and big band programmes, where the adjudicators will measure what is seen and heard with a particular level of musical achievement rather than make comparisons between participating bands. In addition, there will be an extensive Trade Area with the opportunity to browse, order and buy your musical needs.
All in all, plenty to enjoy, educate and eat! We are grateful to both the welcome and support given to us by the Staff of Warwick School.
ncbf also aims to encourage bands to explore new repertoire through the annually updated Repertoire Lists, this year supported by the PRS Foundation. Participating bands are assessed and awarded Gold, Silver, Bronze or Merit.
It is important to stress that the Festival is non-competitive and that the adjudication is a measure of the band’s attempt to achieve a particular level of performance and not to make comparisons between participating bands’ performances. We hope you will enjoy participating in ncbf this year and look forward to receiving your completed application forms – please view all of our website for full details.
